Batman Begins and the Comics
This book is the first on the landmark film to not be authorized by DC Comics or Warner Bros. As far as can be determined, this represents the briefest time in history between a film's release and the appearance of an independent, analytic book.Batman Begins and the Comics is also the first book for Sequart.com, which was founded in 1996 "for the sophisticated study of comic books and graphic novels." The website has risen steadily in popularity in the intervening years. The site now features news, columns, articles, and other materials on comic books -- in addition to The Continuity Pages, a massive hyperlinked study of comics by continuity rather than by title. Sequart.com is a labor of love and an all-volunteer effort by people who love comics.
