Batman Begins And the Comics

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Batman Begins and the Comics studies the 2005 film, directed by Christopher Nolan, paying particular attention to how it draws on its comic book source material.

Grossing over $200 million at the U.S. box office, Batman Begins was co-written by comic book writer David S. Goyer and was widely praised for its fidelity to the comics that inspired it.

This book contains scene-by-scene annotations, including notes on scenes cut from the film, as well as an essay on previous attempts to film Batman's origins, an essay on the film's relationship with past Batman films, and a week-by-week study of the film's box office performance.

Batman and all related characters are trademarks of DC Comics. Batman Begins and the Comics is not endorsed by either DC Comics or Warner Bros.

From the Publisher
This book is the first on the landmark film to not be authorized by DC Comics or Warner Bros. As far as can be determined, this represents the briefest time in history between a film's release and the appearance of an independent, analytic book.

Batman Begins and the Comics is also the first book for Sequart.com, which was founded in 1996 "for the sophisticated study of comic books and graphic novels." The website has risen steadily in popularity in the intervening years. The site now features news, columns, articles, and other materials on comic books -- in addition to The Continuity Pages, a massive hyperlinked study of comics by continuity rather than by title. Sequart.com is a labor of love and an all-volunteer effort by people who love comics.
