Unearthed from the depths of the Batcave by Mathew K. Manning, The Batman Files begins with Wayne's childhood drawings and continues along a time line of significant events in Batman's life. Complete and authentic in every way possible, all of Batman's friends and foes--from Poison Ivy, Catwoman, the Riddler, and Penguin, to the Joker, Batgirl, Mr. Freeze, and of course, Robin--appear throughout the dossier to provide a framework of the Caped Crusader's entire career.
Completely outlining Batman's war on crime, The Batman Files includes in-depth computer files, news articles, crime scene photos, blueprints, schematics, and actual maps of Gotham City that were collected, and in many cases even drawn, by the Caped Crusader himself.
High production values include black matte gilding, as well as a high-tech fabric cover--complete with a metallic Batman emblem to secure the secret contents within. Each detail of Batman's life is carefully and faithfully detailed with the involvement of DC Comics inside The Batman Files--destined to be the must-have gift for every avid Batman fan and collector.

THE BATMAN FILES.......a strong concept,

This review is from: Batman Files, The (Hardcover)
I believe some of the reviews here are a bit inaccurate. This is called "The Batman Files" for a reason & if you read the product description closely; "Unearthed from the depths of the Batcave by Mathew K. Manning; includes in-depth computer files, news articles, crime scene photos, blueprints, schematics, & actual maps of Gotham City that were collected, & in many cases even drawn by the Caped Crusader himself." So therefore it's theme is supposed to be centered on a file(s) & something that came directly or taken from the Batcave (as if thats even conceivable). So in case someone says the pages or paragraphs aren't complete or some of the information seems scattered its because it's supposed to be. This massive tome isn't a book in the traditional sense but a "file", so in that end, Manning & DC have done a super great job on this product. This a must have for any true Batman fan.

This is essentially Bruce Wayne's scrapbook of his life. The quality of the book and the details within are fantastic. I picked it up for almost half off, which was a great bargain. Highly recommended.

Must have for the Batman enthusiast,
By Steven King "Books At the Beach" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Batman Files, The (Hardcover)
Review by Steven King, MBA, MEdPurchasing gifts always has an aura of mystery attached to it. In anticipation of my most recent anniversary, my wife and I visited our local mall. We toured a number of shops with the idea that I would get a new watch for my anniversary. Each store had an ample collection and I knew the decision was going to be tough. After departing the fourth such store, as we were walking by a tattoo parlor I quipped, "I know--how about I get a Batman tattoo for my anniversary?" My wife's shocking response was, "Go for it." An hour later, I had the Bat symbol popularized in the movie "Batman Begins" emblazoned on my right shoulder. Without apology, I admit that I am the consummate collector of Batman paraphernalia. Recently, the amazing work, "The Batman Files", found its way into my life. Anyone who appreciates the mystique of The Dark Knight will love this book. And while I admit that readers often say of good books, "I couldn't put it down," that was truly my experience. I poured over the design and relished the high quality illustrations for a few hours after opening it. I enjoy the fact that Matthew Manning is not attempting a novel history of Bruce Wayne's becoming Batman. Instead the author attempts to synthesize the volumes of what has been written about Batman into a plausible amalgamation. The result is a book that looks like the personal journal of Bruce Wayne which captures the development of the Batman. [The cover is amazing and gives the journal an almost secretive feel.] Its back story is believable, as well-- one day, the author receives a package in plain brown wrapping. In it, he discovers this journal and understands its receipt implies that Bruce Wayne has died. Mr. Wayne wants to set the story straight about who Batman was, and more importantly, make a full disclosure of his life. Serious Batman aficionados will appreciate the lengths to which the author goes. He includes personal photographs, hand-written entries from Bruce Wayne, and newspaper clippings heralding the exploits of Batman. Additionally, many of Batman's villains are explored; schematics of Batman weaponry are included; and an interesting lifespan of Dick Grayson, the original Robin is provided. Bruce Wayne wants everyone to understand that Robin was no mere sidekick; he even donned the Bat suit when it was appropriate for him to do so. Such an encyclopedic reference is not meant to be fully appreciated in one sitting. Its content will keep Batman collectors busy for quite a while. This one is a must have for any Batman enthusiast. |
