Ultimately, the history of Batman is the history of America from the twentieth century to today.

      At one time, New York State had over 300 covered bridges, but over the years, floods, fires, and modernization have claimed all but 32 of them. Both the Hyde Hall Covered Bridge and the Old Blenheim Bridge are proud record holders. Located in Glimmerglass State Park, the Hyde Hall Covered Bridge is the oldest existing covered bridge in the United States. The Old Blenheim Bridge was the longest single-span covered bridge in the world until it was washed away by Tropical Storm Irene in 2011 when the Schoharie Creek flooded. Today, Oxford, New York, is home to the Theodore Burr Covered Bridge Resource Center, which was specifically designed for covered bridge researchers--the first-ever center of its kind.

      Die vielen Gesichter der Meisterdiebin aus Gotham

      CATWOMANS GRÖSSTE COUPS Seit ihrem ersten Auftauchen in US-Batman 1 von 1940 ist Catwoman nicht mehr aus der Welt des Dunklen Ritters wegzudenken. Neben dem Joker zählt sie wohl zu den interessantesten Figuren von Batmans zahllosen Gegnern. Gleich in der ersten Story, in der sie noch als The Cat in Erscheinung trat, knisterte es heftig zwischen der Katenzfrau und dem Mitternachtsdetektiv. Ihre Beziehung ist seither geprägt vom Kampf des rechtschaffenden Rächers gegen die räuberische Kriminelle, aber auch von glühender Leidenschaft! Diese Anthologie zeigt Catwomans Entwicklung von der Superschurkin bis zur zwielichtigen Heldin auf, die den Reichen nimmt und den Armen gibt. Mit Comic-Meilensteinen von wegweisenden und herausragenden Autoren und Künstlern wie Bob Kane, Bill Finger, Dennis O’Neil, Jeph Loeb, Tim Sale, Jim Lee, Ed Brubaker, Sean Phillips, Mindy Newell, Jim Balent und Joëlle Jones. Ergänzt werden die Geschichten aus den verschiedenen Epochen durch viele Hintergrundinformationen!

      Mit Batman begann nach dem strahlenden Superman das Zeitalter der düsteren Comic-Helden. Bob Kane schickte 1939 den Millionär Bruce Wayne auf Verbrecherjagd: im Fledermauskostüm, aber ohne Superkräfte. Kein anderer Held ist so verbittert, keiner hat so bösartige Gegenspieler, und keiner erfreut sich bei den Zeichnern so großer Beliebtheit. Wir präsentieren die Ursprungsgeschichte, die großen Schurken und als Höhepunkt die lange Erzählung „Das erste Jahr“, die Comic-Vorlage für den Film „Batman Begins“.

Jeph Loeb a Jim Lee jsou právě takovým týmem a jejich novátorský přístup k batmanovské řadě jim přinesl mimořádné uznání nejen kritiky, ale i příznivců komiksové literatury.Ve dvanácti kapitolách vyprávějí příběh o přátelství a zradě. Příběh, který ovlivní život jak Batmana, tak Bruce Wayna. Temný rytíř se v tomto komiksu utkává se spoustou známých padouchů. Včetně obrovského Killer Croca, děsivého Scarecrowa, nesmrtelného Ra's al Ghula, rozpolceného Two-Face, hádankami posedlého Riddlera… a dokonce i samotného Jokera. Ale něco mu nesedí. Aby dokázal celý rébus rozlousknout, musí se spojit s nebezpečnou Catwoman a postavit se svému starému příteli – Supermanovi. Postupně se Batman dostává blíž a blíž k tajemnému muži v obvazech, který, zdá se, se všemi manipuluje. Jenže dostat se k němu blízko a porazit ho, to jsou dvě zcela odlišné věci.
