Relive one of the greatest moments in cinematic history with this stunning adaptation of director Tim Burton's masterpiece Batman, the 1989 film that redefined what comic book movies could be. Relive one of the greatest moments in cinematic history with this stunning adaptation of director Tim Burton's masterpiece Batman, the 1989 film that redefined what comic book movies could be. This softcover version of the adaptation crafted by comics legends Dennis O'Neil and Jerry Ordway perfectly captures the moody atmosphere of Burton's film and the gothic architecture of the late production designer Anton Furst in compelling graphic novel form that fans can "rewatch" again and again.
Dennis O'Neil began his career as a comic book writer in 1965 at Charlton, where then-editor Dick Giordano assigned him to several features. When Giordano moved to DC, O'Neil soon followed. At DC, O'Neil scripted several series for Giordano and Julius Schwartz, quickly becoming one of the most respected writers in comics. O'Neil earned a reputation for being able to "revamp" such characters as Superman, Green Lantern, Captain Marvel and Batman, whom O'Neil (with the help of Neal Adams and Giordano) brought back to his roots as a dark, mysterious, gothic avenger. Besides being the most important Batman writer of the 1970s, O'Neil served as an editor at both Marvel and DC. After a long tenure as group editor of the Batman line of titles, he retired to write full-time. Jerry Ordway is a writer and artist whose work has spanned over three decades and every major comic book publisher. He is best known for his work on Superman, Action Comics, Wonder Woman, The Power of Shazam!, Crisis on Infinite Earths and Infinite Crisis, amongst dozens of titles.
