Batman
(LAST UPDATE: 9/27/2009)

....

GENERAL/STORY:
The superhero Batman was the brainchild of cartoonist Bob Kane. The character first appeared in Detective Comics in 1939, and was such a hit that Batman comics remained in print in one form or another into the 21st century. Batman is the "caped crusader," the crime fighting alter-ego of millionaire Bruce Wayne. Wayne inherited a fortune as a boy after his parents were killed by robbers; when Wayne grew up he dedicated himself to fighting crime and chose the guise of a bat in order to strike fear into the hearts of criminals. (Unlike Superman and Spider-Man, Batman is a human with no supernatural powers.) Batman lives in Gotham City and operates out of his secret crime laboratory, the Bat Cave. He battles exotic super villains including The Joker, Two-Face, Catwoman and the Penguin, and is often aided by a sidekick, Robin the Boy Wonder. Over the years Batman has appeared in many media and with various levels of seriousness.

REVIEW:
I liked Batman a lot when I was a little kid, but later on in my teen/young adult years, lost my love for him; and actually found him to be more on the laughable side (after those live-action movies in the 90's). I found it particularly funny when in the earlier live action movies, Batman couldn't turn his neck that far, without turning the rest of his upper body... 

I did however thoroughly enjoy some of the later comics, and of course I loved The Dark Knight, AND especially the part where Bruce Wayne said he wanted a new suit so he could "turn his head." I was the only one in the theater that busted out laughing at that part, because I always made fun of him for that...  At the end of the day, Batman is an undeniably cool superhero and has a great theme, personality, and story behind him; although I have to admit I like the villains in the series more than the hero.
