I Am the Night
von Daniel Dockery
A narrative history of the popular television show Batman: The Animated Series, including exclusive interviews and never-before-shared stories from the making of the series. At a time when televised cartoons—especially within the superhero genre—were often over-looked, Batman: The Animated Series introduced an entire generation of soon-to-be Batman fanatics to the caped crusader. The series triumphed into what is largely considered one of the best superhero cartoons of all time, and the best depiction of Batman mythology in any format. But the road to genre-defying and genre-defining success was hardly guaranteed. Along the way, co-creator Bruce Timm and his team of artists at Warner Bros Animation battled a landscape that was often antithetical to their aims with Batman. Internal struggles led the writing team and the network to debate everything (literally everything) about how best to depict Batman—from whether or not the eco-friendly hero would have a recycling bin in the Batcave to how many women he was allowed to kiss onscreen. In I Am the Night, Daniel Dockery lovingly deep dives into Batman: The Animated Series and the cartoon renaissance it inspired, becoming the definitive primary source for new and old fans of the series alike. Including exclusive interviews with the team behind the cartoon and many never-before-shared insights about the series, I Am the Night will surprise even the staunchest of Batman enthusiasts and capture what made people first fall in love with the series. As many ups and downs as the DC Cinematic Universe may have, Batman is eternal–and so is Batman: The Animated Series.

Rezension von RaymondI received I Am The Night from Netgalley and St. Martin's Press in exchange for a fair and honest review. I Am the Night is a must-read for any fan of Batman: The Animated Series. The behind-the-scenes stories, artwork, and interviews offer a fascinating look at how one of the greatest animated shows of all time came together. Learning about the creative process and the passion that went into every episode gave me an even greater appreciation for the series. What I loved most was how the book brought back so many childhood memories. Reading about the making of the show reminded me of sitting in front of the TV as a kid, completely captivated by Batman's adventures every week. Reading about the production details, and stories from the creators made those memories feel fresh again. It's both a celebration of an iconic series and a nostalgic trip back to a time when Batman: The Animated Series was the highlight of my afternoons. Whether you're a lifelong Batman fan or simply interested in animation history, I Am the Night is a beautifully put-together book that captures the legacy of a series that continues to inspire audiences decades later.
