review 1: This book was great. If you like Psychology, and if you like super heros, This is the book for you. The novel covered many psychological concepts from humor, Fear, Pathology, emotion, and growth. Whats more, Langly explores a wide range of great thinkers. He often speaks of Adler and Erickson. however, He mentions Frued (obviously) Jung, Joseph Cambell, among others. the comic book aspect of this was equally impressive. He's conducted case files of the riddler, Ra's Al Ghul, Two Face, Cat woman, and many more. of course, he talks throughout the book about batman.the chapters and the discussion of the book flowed seemlessly from topic to topic. It would introduce the subject matter of a given case file before prior to presenting the profile. which made it very effective. In... more addition, the psychological facets that were exploced are explained in the most laymen terms, so anyone can understand.the bottom line: This book is amazing. read it.
review 2: Wow. Nothing but high praise for this totally enjoyable and deftly analytical work. "Fiction with its big question of 'What If?' is one of the most powerful forces in the world." I couldn't agree more. Superherologist Langley nails the Dark Knight and the Gotham world with amazing grace, humor, and insight. I'm not sure how non-psychology folks will view this, but for those of us who are in the field, this is top-shelf fun. less
