Superheroes of Library Land

The first in an occasional, continuing series...

Batman

The Miller/Mazzucchelli update

I have a thing for Batman... I like my superheroes dark and brooding and shorn of "superpowers," except for their exceptional brains, a few incredible gadgets, and the brawn necessary to go mano a mano when the situation arises.

The Dark Knight indeed...

So I was extremely pleased to discover Batman's library connections and the depth and breadth of his knowledge of library science (with a little help from a Gotham City librarian). In Detective Comics #643, Peter Milligan, a fabulous British writer known for his work in television, film and comic books (X-Men and X-Force), crafted a tantalizing story titled "The Library of Souls," with artwork by Jim Aparo. In the story, Gotham City is bedeviled by a serial killer... who is employing the Dewey Decimal System in his heinous crimes. Get the gist and a look at a few of the panels at A Year of Cool Comics blog.

Holy Classification System!

There's always another adventure waiting on a higher shelf...

Batman is probably or actually most definitely my favorite super hero. In the comic universe where there are incredible heroes like Superman, Aquaman, The Flash, The Green Lantern, Iron Man, Hulk, Thor and other superheroes, there is one who is really normal. Batman is the most human like a superhero in the whole comic universe. He is a man with no powers, however, he uses his intellect and trains his body to be able to keep up with all the heroes and the villains.
