Explore the powers of DC Comics' greatest characters like never before through stunning anatomical cutaways and in-depth commentary from the Dark Knight.
Concerned about the threat that so-called metahumans may pose to the world, Batman has begun compiling a detailed dossier on their incredible physiology and abilities. From villains like Killer Croc, Bane, and Brainiac to Batmans own comrades, including Superman and Cyborg, the file brings together the Dark Knights fascinating personal theories on the unique anatomical composition of these formidable individuals.
This unique book delves into the incredible abilities of DC Comics characters like never before. Using beautifully illustrated anatomical cross sections depicting twelve different DC characters, the book, told from Batmans perspective, will explore how these metahumans physical makeup differs significantly from that of the average person.
