The Caped Crusade is a fascinating, critically acclaimed chronicle
of the rises and falls of one of the world's most iconic
superheroes and the fans who love him-now with a new afterword. For
nearly a century, Batman has cycled through eras of dark melodrama
and light comedy and back again. How we perceive his character,
whether he's delivering dire threats in a raspy Christian Bale
growl or trading blithely homoerotic double entendres with Robin
the Boy Wonder, speaks to who we are and how we wish to be seen by
the world. It's this endless adaptability that has made him so
lasting, and ultimately human. But it's also Batman's fundamental
nerdiness that uniquely resonates with his fans and makes them
fiercely protective of him. As Weldon charts the evolution of
Gotham's Guardian from Bob Kane and Bill Finger's hyphenated hero
to Christopher Nolan's post-9/11 Dark Knight, he reveals how this
symbol of justice has made us who we are today and why his legacy
remains so strong. Well-researched, insightful, and engaging, The
Caped Crusade, with a new afterword by the author, has something
for everyone.
