Dark Knight of the Bat

By Philip Gardiner

Its seeming ability to traverse between the world's has inspired tales of terrible horror but also stories of great hope.

This is the story of the age-old Bat Man - from Bob Kane and Bill Finger's creation in 1939 to Dracula and even  further back and deeper than anybody has gone before.

The image and legacy of the bat throughout history is truly emblematic of man's dark side. This is a tale of more than just the incredible success of a Superhero, but also a unique insight into the Dark Nature of man himself.

Re-live the rise of the Batman era, from the very beginnings to the modern age and in so doing understand how this creation has taken on a life of its own.
