(4) 4-6 Batman Science series. These books introduce materials science and engineering vocabulary through the features of Batman's highly engineered suits and vehicles. These comic-book creations are compared to their real-life technological equivalents to show the purpose of body armor, night vision scopes, weapons detection systems, and more. Generic Batman graphics feel superfluous on spreads featuring more useful photographs of the real stuff. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers these Batman Science titles: Batsuits and Capes and Batmobiles and Batcycles.
