It is Batman's 85th Anniversary, so it is time to celebrate the Dark Knight. Batman first appeared in 1939's Detective Comics #27 . This was the beginning of a journey that has taken the character through various incarnations in his appearances in comics, TV shows, movies, and animated series, making Batman an icon that is recognizable all over the world
In my opinion, he is arguably the greatest superhero of all. For me, Batman stands out from the crowd because he has no super powers like Hawkeye over at Marvel. Batman is cunning, determined, tech savvy, and a skilled detective, making him a more than worthy opponent.
Yes, he does have some advantages courtesy of his endless flow of cash. This allows him opportunities to design a custom suits (including armor), gadgets galore, and vehicles that help him have an edge when he is fighting crime. Still, when he comes face to face with villains who have super strength, it his gritty perseverance for justice that propels him forward.
Of course, the back story of Bruce Wayne is integral to Batman's success. We can all empathize with his desire to fight for justice after witnessing the deaths of his parents who are killed by a criminal. But, instead of going for carnage like Marvel's Punisher, Batman has a "no kill" policy as he battles the bad guys, but that does not mean he is above beating them to a pulp.
I have included a video above of the tour of Warner Brothers Studio in Hollywood, where they are celebrating this anniversary, and below I have included a video retrospective of Batman over the years.
Enjoy this day and experiencing Batman in many available formats any day of the year
Batman forever!!
