If you're a fan of the Batmobile, you'll enjoy perusing this book. The Batmobile in all its iterations is one of the coolest cars ever imagined, and flipping through this book made me want to go back and watch the scenes featuring the various models (though I'll happily fast-forward through most of Batman & Robin). I will say, though, that reading through this book was a blast. Certainly it was probably easiest to get information about these movies because all the folks involved were actuallystill involved in making the final film, but it can feel like the book is trying to rush through the other stories just to get to their favorite version. Fully two chapters are devoted to Christopher Nolan's vision of the Dark Knight, and these sections don't always stick to the Batmobile, either. Also, there's a definite concentration on the latest version, the Tumbler. I would have enjoyed a little more of that. Images of comic book versions, particularly more recent ones, seemed almost an afterthought, and there's very little discussion about them outside of the images.
I enjoyed reading about the Batmobiles, but I did feel the book had an overemphasis on the TV and movie vehicles.
