Customer Reviews

If you like the Movies, get the Book

I got this book for Christmas one year, and I was a tiny-bit disappointed (explains the rating) don't get me wrong, I loved the Book, But there were a lot of flaws, (Especially in the final chapter) If it was a little bit more like the movies, I'd give it a five. It tells it in comic form, great book, but it gets less Accurate as it goes on, and believe me, I'm a real critic when it comes to books and movies.

Collector's item.

This book collects the comics that are based on the four Batman movies. If you ask me, I actually consider as 'movies' only the first two, since the Schumacher films were atrocities. Anyway. The quality of the comics presented here varies, and I will judge him one by one. First, we have the adaption of BATMAN. The artwork is pretty good, and the colours are sometimes wrong (the Batman sometimes looks like he is wearing the classic blue-grey costume). However, is generally good. Then it's BATMAN RETURNS. Here, the artwork is considerably better than that of BATMAN, but the colours are not well selected, and have not too good hues. However, in story, it is the most faithful of the adaptions. Then it's BATMAN FOREVER. Although the movie is the worst, the comic is the best of the four. It has perfect art and brilliant colours that give you perfectly the sense that you read a movie. Then it's BATMAN & ROBIN, which is in quality a close second to Batman Forever. The art is good and the colours well selected. It is funny the fact that while the first two Batman movies are a lot better than the recent two, the comics of the Schumacher films are better in quality. If you like either the dark Tim Burton or the campy Joel Schumacher, this book is a colector's item. And also, if you are simply a collector of movie items, this book is worth checking too.
