编辑推荐From School Library JournalGrade 7 Up–A graphic-novel adaptation of the recently released film. The comic-book version follows the film's plot directly and reveals the dark origins of the vigilante hero, tracing Bruce Wayne's inner turmoil and struggle with who he is and what his role is to be in the world. It also includes four earlier Batman stories: The Man Who Falls, Air Time, Reasons, and Urban Legend. Perhaps the best one is the last one, which has a twist that is hard to anticipate. The artists contributing to the work are accomplished. The movie mania will be a good draw to this title.–Joel Bangilan, Houston Public Library, TX Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. From Booklist Any big-budget summer action movie is going to be accompanied by scads of ancillary products, including books. The print tie-in to Batman Begins is, entirely appropriately, considering its hero's origins, a comic-book adaptation of the blockbuster flick. To translate movie into comics, DC called on experienced hands Scott Beatty, writer of many previous Batman stories, and Kilian Plunkett, who honed his movies-to-comics skills on a series of Star Wars titles. Their rendition deviates from the theatrical release only by trimming it a bit. Filling out the volume are reprints of four better-than-average strips from the various Batman titles. The standout, written and drawn by Batman veterans Denny O'Neil and Dick Giordano, retells the character's origin in a version close to that of the movie, but all four hark back to the tragedy in his childhood that led Bruce Wayne to adopt his life's mission. Consider the whole book as a sort of Batman 101 for viewers of the smash movie wanting more of the Caped Crusader. Gordon Flagg Copyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved |
