Synopsis

The Batman movie producer reveals how his childhood love of comic books became a lifelong passion and dream job in this memoir.Is any superhero cooler than Batman? He’s a crime-fighting vigilante with a tragic past, a lawless attitude, and a seemingly endless supply of high-tech gadgetry. In this memoir, author Michael E.
