The Unofficial Batman: The Animated Interviews
A five-volume set featuring interviews with the executives, producers, directors, cast, writers, composers and artists responsible for making BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES and its spinoffs.
“Bob Miller’s highly researched and thoroughly engaging history, Batman: The Animated Interviews, is a testament to a terrific writer who clearly loves storytelling and animation as he chronicles the gargantuan efforts to develop, produce and showcase the multi-Emmy award-winning Batman: The Animated Series. These books should be part of the curriculum of any school or university teaching writing, production and animation. Bob’s books describe the perseverance, passions and unfettered commitment to quality from all those engaged to deliver a truly great series, from the ‘upstart’ network, Fox Kids, to the remarkable creative output of the teams at Warner Animation. We all truly believed this Batman series would be great and Bob’s penetrating questions, which rendered thoughtful answers, help the readers and fans understand how the series was made, and why it worked so well. It was like a perfect storm. Everything came together … not easily, but magnificently.”
