Newsarama have sat down with authors Michael Eury and Michael Kronenberg of the Batcave Companion, to talk about what readers can expect from the book, which is released Wednesday 15th April.


NRAMA: Why did you specifically focus on the New Look and Bronze Age eras of Batman?

ME: Because they’re the eras which resonate with the mass audience: Batman as campy pop idol and Batman as the Dark Knight.

NRAMA: Now, despite the title, the book isn’t 100 percent about the Batcave. But I am curious: What do you feel the Batcave represents to the Batman mythos?

ME: While Batman has operated independently of the Batcave upon occasion (including the early 1970s, as Michael K. covers), the Batcave is integral to the character and exemplifies Batman’s iconography perhaps better than any other hero’s hideaway.

Plus it appeases comics fans: It’s the ultimate data- and gadget-loaded HQ and it’s a collector’s dream! (C’mon, wouldn’t you like a giant penny in your basement?)
