Fellow Batman fans, we hope you have a spare change of pants. We have seen encyclopedias, guidebooks, philosophy books, how-to books, history books, and various other materials that have documented all things awesome about the dark knight.
Now, brace yourselves for…The Batman Files. This hardcover dossier by Matthew Manning comes packed with histories of all the major Bat-characters, letters, newspaper articles, in-depth computer files, crime scene photos, blueprints, schematics, maps of Gotham City, and even Bruce Wayne’s childhood drawings. Every minute detail of Batman’s life is carefully and thoroughly covered in this book, which makes it a must-have for Batman fans. Check out the photos below.
“The Batman Files” is gilded with a black matte finish and a fabric cover, while secured with a metallic silver Batman emblem. It is now available for preorder on Amazon for $61, down from the original $100 price. We’re not sure why there is a different cover on the Amazon posting, but we’re hoping it will have the more polished, solid black finish in the end instead.
I don’t know about you guys, but I’m placing my copy on my coffee table, snug in the middle of my “Arkham City: Collector’s Edition” and ”Batman: Year One” blu-ray, sitting over my pile of #1 Batman comic issues. It is a good month to be a Batman fan, indeed :)

I work for the publisher and wanted to let you know that the cover with the images that you see on Amazon and elsewhere is the paper jacket that goes inside the shrink-wrap. The book cover is the solid black with the emblem, exactly as you show here. So glad you like the book. Thanks for the awesome review!
It looks wonderful. We can’t wait to get our hands on one in order to do a full review.
