The broad-shouldered '60s camp hero

Batman Unauthorized explores the many facets of Batman throughout his film, television, and comic book career, from the Caped Crusader to the Dark Knight, from Adam West to Christian Bale. Its essayists, led by editor and legendary Batman writer Dennis O'Neil, cover everything from why Batman needs a Robin to whether Bruce Wayne has PTSD.
