His aliases include the Caped Crusader, the Dark Knight, and World's
Greatest Detective, but he's best known as Batman, and he's leaping from

Author Michael Burgan details the history of Batman--from his tragic
origin story and his infamous arch enemies--to his iconic depictions in
television and movies throughout the years. This book shows readers why
this superhero with no superpowers is so beloved around the world.
