Bat-Blog reviews Holy Franchise, Batman!

August 31, 2012 by admin

Yesterday Tommy over at Bat-Blog was kind enough to write a nice review for Holy Franchise, Batman!; here’s an excerpt:

Now most people who know me say that I’m a complete fanatic when it comes to our favorite Caped Crusader. And I’m not trying to say that I’m an expert or anything but I know some things about the Batman and this book has tons of information and “behind the scenes” stories that I have never heard before. It’s a fun read.

Basically, this book covers the entire “Franchise History” of the Batman character from the early movie serials of the 1940’s all the way up to the very recent DARK KNIGHT RISES movie that just came out. It also covers the 1966 Batman TV Show and even has all the animated TV cartoons that the characters have appeared in. I mean, it’s extremely in-depth!

Be sure to check out the full review here.

HOLY FRANCHISE BATMAN: BRINGING THE CAPED CRUSADER TO THE SCREEN:

Since the Caped Crusader first made the leap from comics to silver screen in the early 1940s, generations of audiences have been captivated by the screen adventures of Batman, establishing the celebrated comic book hero as a true icon of popular culture. Now, Gary Collinson traces the entire screen history of Bob Kane’s Dark Knight Detective, providing a fascinating insight into one of the most successful media franchises of all time.

Beginning with the early movie serials of the 1940s, Holy Franchise, Batman! charts the development of Batman’s many exploits across both live-action and animation, presenting a comprehensive overview of his illustrious screen career. From the classic 1960s television series starring Adam West and Burt Ward to the hugely successful blockbuster feature films from directors Tim Burton (Batman, Batman Returns), Joel Schumacher (Batman Forever, Batman & Robin) and Christopher Nolan (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises), as well as early Saturday morning cartoon outings through to the acclaimed ‘DC Animated Universe’, this book explores the evolution of Batman – a journey that has taken him from ‘camp’ crime-fighter to Dark Knight.

Holy Franchise, Batman! Bringing the Caped Crusader to the Screen – Available now via Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com .
