The Batman Handbook

It's doesn't sound too interesting but maybe sometime in the future if I hear enough people rave about it...

 

I may pick this up.

 

Sounds kind of corney now that I know more about it... maybe not worth the money unless your in for a good laugh.

 

I looked at it today. Pretty interesting read, actually.

 

The Batman Handbook looks like an interesting read. It probably would be an enjoyalbe read for any fan of Batman.

Hopefully no one takes it too seriously.

 

Actually its gives you a nice warning at the beginning of the book. Pretty much telling you not to take vigilantism into your own hands.

But alot of the things said in the book can be done and are very true.

Its worth picking up and reading. I've read it twice and just love it.

 

Bought it.

Read it.

Loved it.

Very cool concept.

The only problem was when I tried the dropping out the window, swinging on the flagpole to the streetlight I got confused and dropped through the fruit stand's awning.

D'oh!

 

The disclaimer was posted at Amazon. The disclaimer states very clearly that no one should attempt the to take vigilantism into their own hands.

Although, how many warnings have been given about not attempting to recreate or re-enact extreme behavior or stunts yet people still do it.

 

Very very true,,,i wouldn't go out and try to fight crime, to be honest, i'd be killed in 2 mins where i live lol

 

If this book falls into the wrong hands, Batman could be in serious trouble!

 

From the foreword:

"So the next time the chips are down and the water's rising and the giggling hyena with the machine gun is slapping in a fresh clip, go ahead and ask yourself: "What would Batman do?" If you have this book, you'll know.

Otherwise, you're taking your chances-- unless you can ger your mommy and daddy to pack you into a spaceship and shoot your ass to a planet where you can bend steel with your bare hands."

 

Loved it as well. Not gonna become a vigilante though!

 

Yeah, Scott Beatty is a big-time Batman historian. He did a detailed History Of Gotham for Wizard Magazine several years back, iirc, that was phenomenal.

 

Exactly! What if the Joker read this book, he'd know Batman's every move.

I don't like the idea of it.

But does it say how to make an actual Batman costume?(bullet proof and all)

 

That sounds like an awesome one-shot. A villain gets ahold of the Batman Handbook.

 

Does the book include the madness and drive required to dress as a giant bat to fight crime?.

 

tell me where to find that book now!

 

I bought this for my brother as an extra little Christmas present. It's quite an entertaining read.
