Description

This book aims to study the Batman narrative or Bat-narrative from the point of view of its nodal relationship to modern narrative as such. To this end, it offers for the first time a new type of methodology adequate to the object, which delves both into materials scarcely studied in this context and well-known materials seen in a new light. This is a multidisciplinary work aimed at both the specialist and the global reader, bringing together comic studies, philosophical criticism and literary criticism in a debate on the fate of our current global civilization.
