Batman's Bookshelf


With just over a month to go before release of director Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises, it seemed like a good time to make mention of a few related books that will debut around the same time.

Insight Editions has two upcoming releases: Author Mark Cotta Vaz takes us under the hood and behind the wheel of one of the world’s most well-known cars in Batmobile: The Complete History. The Dark Knight Manual: Tools, Weapons, Vehicles and Documents from the Batcave by Brandon T. Snider features a collection of Bruce Wayne’s sketches, memos, and blueprints used in developing the high-tech hardware used by Gotham City’s self-appointed protector. Both books will available in hardcover on July 17 and July 24 respectfully.

Jody Duncan Jesser and Janine Pourroy examine all three of Nolan’s Batman films in The Making of the Dark Knight Trilogy. Available on July 28 from Abrams Books, the hardcover tome includes interviews with the director and other principle crew along with previously unpublished art and photography.
