Batman Science is about Batman’s clothing, equipment, and
comparison to real-life science and technology. Fictional character, Batman,
was created in 1939. Other than intelligence and his daringness, he was a human
with no superhuman abilities. His powers in combating evil came from the
advanced technology of clothing and equipment. In 1939, Batman’s clothing, car,
and other equipment were only fantasy. In today’s world these items are now a
reality. This book takes Batman’s clothing and equipment and shows how it
exists in real-life technology available today. The book provides examples that
show the science and technology behind his body armor, utility belt, vehicles,
and his wings. What was fiction in 1939 is a now reality today, due to
adventures in science, technology, and engineering. Batman Science: The
Real-World Science Behind Batman’s Gear, by Agnieszka Biskup and Tammy Enz, is
a nonfiction text written for readers in the middle school grades, 6-8 grade.
The book takes the mystery of Batman and shows how his equipment and other
aspects of Batman are now used in today’s world. Many of the tools and
equipment used by Batman have practical uses by police and military personnel
today. The book incorporates illustrations and real pictures that demonstrate
the connections between fiction and reality. Interesting facts are presented
throughout the book that help explain the science behind Batman’s equipment. The
book also includes a table of contents and index. Batman Science: The
Real-World Science Behind Batman’s Gear was a 2015 top ten winner for Quick
Picks for the Reluctant Reader. I would recommend the entire Batman Science
series as a sequel to this book.
