The Essential Batman Encyclopedia 蝙蝠侠百科全书

面具背后的人的终极指南…以及面具背后的神话。

“罪犯是一个迷信的、懦弱的群体。所以我的伪装必须能够让他们的内心感到恐惧。我必须是一个黑夜的生物，黑色的，可怕的……我将成为一只蝙蝠！”百万富翁实业家布鲁斯·韦恩（Bruce Wayne）如是说，他小时候被一个凶残的暴徒弄成孤儿，长大后成为蝙蝠侠，与犯罪祸害作斗争。1939年，蝙蝠侠突然进入流行文化，近70年来，无数漫画、真人秀和动画电视节目以及七部剧情片都让观众激动不已。在哥谭市黑暗的屋顶上，在光滑、高功率的蝙蝠车中呼啸着穿过拥挤的街道，当标志性的蝙蝠信号穿透夜空时，披挂式十字军一跃而起，是一个超越生命的传奇。现在，三十多年来第一次，从开始到现在，从A到Z，所有关于蝙蝠侠的信息都被收集在一本综合性的新资源书中。500多页的条目和插图包括：

•蝙蝠侠起源的迷人细节和完整背景

•蝙蝠侠宇宙中每一个主要角色的传记——包括他最亲密的盟友，从神奇少年罗宾、忠实的管家阿尔弗雷德·彭尼沃斯到戈登专员；还有他无数的敌人，从小丑、企鹅、猫女、谜语人到稻草人、双面人、拉斯·古尔和毒艾薇

•经典黑白漫画作品

•两张16页全彩插图

即使是蝙蝠洞的全方位通行证也无法与前DC漫画编辑兼蝙蝠侠学者罗伯特·格林伯格（Robert Greenberger）的详尽终极档案媲美。《蝙蝠侠基本百科全书》是每个蝙蝠侠迷书架上的必备品。

The ultimate guide to the man behind the mask . . . and the mythology behind the man.

“Criminals are a superstitious, cowardly lot. So my disguise must be able to strike terror into their hearts. I must be a creature of the night, black, terrible. . . . I shall become a bat!” So declared millionaire industrialist Bruce Wayne, orphaned as a boy by a murderous thug and driven as a man to battle the scourge of crime by becoming Batman. Batman swooped into popular culture in 1939–and for nearly seventy years has thrilled audiences in countless comics, live-action and animated television programs, and seven feature films. Prowling the darkened rooftops of Gotham City, roaring through the teeming streets in the sleek, high-powered Batmobile, and leaping into action when the iconic Bat-Signal pierces the night sky, the Caped Crusader is a larger-than-life legend. And now, for the first time in more than thirty years, everything there is to know about Batman–from the beginning to the present, and from A to Z–is collected in one comprehensive new sourcebook. More than 500 pages of entries and illustrations include:

• fascinating details and the complete background on Batman’s origins
• biographies of every major character in the Batman universe–including his closest allies, from Robin the Boy Wonder and faithful butler Alfred Pennyworth to Commissioner Gordon; and his countless enemies, from the Joker, Penguin, Catwoman, and the Riddler to Scarecrow, Two-Face, Ra’s al Ghul and Poison Ivy
• classic black-and-white comic book artwork throughout
• two sixteen-page full-color artwork inserts

Even an all-access pass to the Batcave couldn’t rival former DC Comics editor and Batman scholar extraordinaire Robert Greenberger’s exhaustive ultimate archive. The Essential Batman Encyclopedia is a must for every Batman fan’s bookshelf.
