Great introduction book for young readers! Excellent entry to Batman!

The target audience for this book would be early grade school children and is in the fantasy genre due to the super hero aspect of the story. It has a copyright 2014. This book reminds me of the comic books that I used to read when I was little that were about the X-Men characters. I really related to this story because I've always liked Batman growing up and even dressed like him for Halloween a few times. Everyone loves a superhero story especially one where the hero doesn't really have super powers like Batman doesn't really have.
