About This Book

A parent should reach for this book when their superhero-loving child fights the bedtime routine. This clever story masterfully parallels a young boy's mundane nightly tasks with Batman's epic preparations to protect Gotham City. Putting on pajamas becomes donning a suit of armor, brushing teeth is polishing equipment, and a goodnight kiss is a hero's send-off. It tackles the resistance to winding down by reframing it as a powerful, important mission. For young children, this book transforms a moment of conflict into an exciting imaginative game, building their confidence and sense of bravery as they face the 'darkness' of their own bedroom.

What Parents Should Know

Mild PerilMild

Stylized, non-graphic scenes of Batman fighting generic criminals are shown.

Sensitive Topics

None. The book is secular and avoids any complex or sensitive issues. The concept of Batman fighting 'darkness' is presented as a clear and simple metaphor for the boy going to sleep in his dark room, and the approach is entirely positive and empowering.
