B ATMAN RETURNS: The official Movie BookNo need to explain. A great edition for those that love the film. It has in-depth info about the making of the film, info about the cast and crew and some great concept artwork and colour pics of the film. A must for every fan of the film. Out of print, but can be found through ebay or other bidding sites. |
B ATMAN RETURNS: The official Souvenir MagazineEvery major blockbuster has one. Not as good as the ''book'', but a good addition for your collection. Info on cast and crew, a great collection of images, behind the scenes pictures and stuff. |
BATMAN RETURNS: The official Comic Adaptation I personally didn't like the comic of the film very much. The strengths of this film don't rely on the plot itself, but on the great visual and aural qualities of the film and Burton's portrayal of the psychotic characters. That is to say that in drawn form the movie doesn't offer much. The likeness of the characters and the ink in general are great, but the coloring is poor and basic. There are two versions, Prestige graced with great Dorman artwork (an artist that has produced some excellent Batman paintings - his work can be seen on several Collected editions covers and trading cards) and Regular with a more comic bookish cover. The prestige cover artwork is better than the comic itself... Anyway, this comic book is a nice addition to the bookshelf of every fan. The best movie adaptation, however, is Batman Forever. |

B ATMAN RETURNS: The NovelsThere were two novels adapting Batman Returns' story. The first (on your left) is written by Graig Shaw Gardner, and it's the one I recommend. It goes in great depths in the characters. The other is a ''junior'' (about 100 pages or more), shorter and simplified, but a good read nonetheless. |
