Review Quotes
Praise for Travis Langley's Batman and Psychology
"Langley cleverly combines his two loves, as evinced by the title, to create a work that will draw the most disinterested psychology students in by using the seemingly universally loved Byronic hero of Batman." -Geekscape.net
"Dr. Langley puts this masked vigilante and his admirers on the analyst couch to examine what makes him--and us--tick. A revealing look at Bruce Wayne and his alter-ego." --Barnes & Noble
"If you love Batman, you will love this book. If you love psychology, you will love this book! Do not worry about getting lost though, as Langley does an excellent job explaining everything he discusses . . . A book you shouldn't pass up, as once you start reading it you simply will not be able to put it down!" --International House of Geek
"More entertaining than many of the others which populate the ever-growing field of texts about pop culture and the sciences. Rather than just telling us what we should know or think about Batman, the book supplements our own interest in the hero and provokes us to think more about what's going on in his head." --StarPulse.com
