The Art of The Batman: The Official Behind-the-Scenes Companion to the Film

This is a great book, and I really mean that. The illustrations are excellent; especially exciting are the sections on the Batmobile and the gloomy look of Gotham City. However, I am taking two stars off for the condition of the cover. It’s made quite cheaply, and the absurd amount of wrinkles and dimples on both the inside cover and the outside cover make it a return for me. I am hoping that you get a better looking copy than I received! I will update/upgrade my review should the replacement look better. EDIT: The replacement did look better, but still not what I would expect from a brand new book. I am not that picky, but I have bought thousands of books during my life, and they have never looked like this. If there weren’t such differences between the two copies I have perused, I might have thought that the flaws are some weird artistic statement. But there are, and they are not.

Durable and bulky! Bigger than expected. Packaged really well and safe. Got as a gift for my husband and he loves it. Really goes into depth about the movie

Excellent quality binding and pictures. Detailed pictures of concept art and breakdown of gadgets and character designs. I had originally considered taking off a star in this rating due to the pictures looking so dark, but it's honestly the way the entire movie feels. There isn't any bright or colorful scene in the movie making it and the book set a gloomy tone throughout. It works though. Just different compared to other "Art Of" books that might have brighter concept art. It's a well organized book separated into sections for each character or production phase. While there isn't much text, each section has a dedicated portion with details that add insight into the production, characters, gadgets, and my favorite - vehicles.

The artwork shown in this book is superb, and the text inserts from crewmembers are very interesting. I like the way the separate the chapters by titles like Vengence, Justice, Hope, etc. The in depth look at Batman's suit and the Botmobile, as well as the Batcycle are really cool, and seeing the design sketches is even better. If you are a fan of the movie and a sucker for visual dictionaries like me, you'll love this book.

Amazing book and not too expensive. It is SUPER high quality. The art just POPS and the whole book is just awesome. I have it on my coffee table and people love looking through it. Lots of cool text to read in it as well. I would buy from this company again for sure.

Pattinson is THE BATMAN , this boook is amazing the detail and the effort put into this production is as shown in the book. The pre-production work on this film took time and effort, I know cuz' I work in the industry, this book Rocks, if you want to know the time and effort it takes to make a film , get this book!!!

This is a pretty standard art book for the new Batman movie. There is a Foreword by Matt Reeves, an Introduction by James Field, a “Who's Who” section, and then seven main chapters. There are a total of about 220 pages. The seven main chapters are : 1 - Vengeance : The Batman 2 – Justice : The Riddler 3 – Honor : Lt. Gordon 4 – Retribution : Selena Kyle 5 – Power : Falcone and The Penguin 6 – Despair : Gotham City 7 – Hope : The Need for a Hero Each section contains behind-the-scenes information about the movie; from comic source material, to concept art, to rough sketches of costumes and vehicles, and more. There are also quotes and mini-interviews from the filmmaking team and some cast members. If you are a huge fan of this movie, you might enjoy reading about some of the inspiration for the scenes and story, and seeing all of the detailed designs behind some of the equipment. Some of the artwork is pretty cool also, though most of it is dimly lit/dark scenes; which makes sense because of the tone of the movie. I personally think the book is okay, but it is pretty expensive, so likely only worth it if you are a mega-fan of this movie.

Ive gotten many “Art of (Insert movie title here)” books and they have all been disappointing, only having stills directly from the movie. This book did not disappoint. It has so many amazing sketches, the concept art is beautiful, and even references to the original comics that inspired them. It provides so much background to the characters and the thought process behind the design choices. Overall really lovely. It arrived quickly and without any damage

For fans of the movie, this is a fascinating look behind the scenes. I particularly like seeing the concept art for this film.

Heel goed

Dei de presente e a pessoa adorou, cheio de desenhos, mostrando bastante por de trás da câmeras e as ideias para os personagens.

Książka/album super, natomiast zapakowanie przez Amazon tak ciężkiej i delikatnej rzeczy jedynie w cienki kartonik, sprawia że cisną się na palce słowa powszechnie używane za wulgarne i obelżywe.

A great companion book to Matt Reeves’ masterpiece. Chock full of exquisite images and behind the scenes tidbits that will satisfy any Batman fan. Highly recommend!
