History Of Batman! From His Origin To Now

[@jaykelly6091]

Bats is the best damn DC character ever created

[@jodystrickland9150]

I think he might be tied with superman popularity wise,but for the most part I agree with u bc batman just an average man who pushed his limits and became a hero

[@aquafish8404]

[@hunterkiller1440]

Batman's rise to fame for its dark tone is because of great writing and creators thanks to many different DCAU, awesome video games and Nolan's trilogy.

[@MrRomanrin]

hahaha, rlly ? "Nolan's trilogy"? How old are you? You dont know of "Batman: The Animated Series" ? Or "Batman beyond"? Or Batman from 1966 ? With Adam West

[@hunterkiller1440]

Imperiom Please tell me you know what DCAU means.

[@chataclysm2112]

That's because of Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns.

[@MrRomanrin]

hunterkiller1440 DCAU = DC animated universe right?

[@hunterkiller1440]

Yup, which includes Batman: The Animated Series and Batman Beyond.

[@aidanellis2377]

Batman said he could have made the Kryptonite strong enough to kill Superman but he didn't want to do that, he just wanted to let Superman know to stay out of the way. He faked the heart attack to give Superman an out.

[@vernoneatwell5449]

He is my favourite superhero for many reasons 1) His consistency in fights 2) His enemies who drive him into becoming who he is 3) He's human 4) He has this badass tone about him, which is why he's known as the dark knight 5) He is just the person who you can follow, excluding the no killing rule for joker because that psycho must go f himself and get killed.

[@DemonKing606]

[@mav1884]

You know something, Batman isn’t a hero because he loves the thrill, he doesn’t do it to get praise, he doesn’t do it because of some tragedy, He does it because ever since that one night in the alley, he learned that you can’t just sit around and wait for someone to save the world, you have to take action, to strike fear into the heart of criminals, THAT, my friends, is why He’s BATMAN

[@shlokwaghela9560]

Actually, while The Dark Knight Returns is non canon, it's made pretty clear he enjoyed the thrill, and I can't blame him, but again, The Dark Knight Returns Bruce was kinda... A jerk when compared to most of his counterparts so I am not sure

[@MegaFeeso]

I'm happy you credited Bob Kane and Bill Finger as the creators of Batman

[@ashutoshprakash3017]

Feeso actually I'm pretty sure bill finger added 95% of everything we know about batman nowadays, including the bat costume

[@martinlacasta]

Spencer Wilson Bob Kane just made a copy of the Phantom

[@topherholland4646]

You know, Batman is one of my favorite superheroes. That's why I always read the Batman comics from 1939-1989. That's also the reason for my favorite Batman actors/voice actors: 1. Adam West 2. Olan Sloune(hope I spelled that right) 3. Michael Keaton 4. Kevin Conroy Heck, I even created my own superhero INSPIRED by the 1939-1981 Batman comics, under the name of Topher-Boy!

[@franciskaranja9293]

“His parents died when he was so young. Shot. Killed right in front of him. He was raised alone. A kid in a huge mansion. With his memories of his mother and father. He had love, and they took it from him. He should be a killer. He should want to tear the world apart for what it did. And yet he took that pain. That shock of death. And he turned it into hope.” - SUPERMAN

[@zmanred011]

The Batman cartoon series was my fav. When his friend turned into clayface it was awesome.

[@natural9747]

I’ll never forget seeing that happen. That episode was crazy

[@ShadowAtSanctum]

It should be said that "The Case of the Chemical Syndicate" was a story for The Shadow called "Partners of Peril." This is why early Batman used a gun and had no remorse when killing criminals early on. They met and worked together in Batman #253 and #259. Batman acknowledged The Shadow as his biggest influence.

[@isaiahadams1996]

Batman is my number one favorite DC superhero. He's no doubt the most beloved hero in DC

[@Doodle1678]

Batman stories are so dark that I forget that I'm reading about a grown man dressed in a bat suit running around in the night fighting crime and that his greatest enemy looks like a clown.

[@rajvader]

Got it backwards... The Bat-comics of the late '50s and early '60s were pretty silly, due to the threat of censorship. They'd moved to a more serious, mystery-oriented tone by the time of the Adam West series, but the TV guys wanted to go with the campier approach based on the earlier comics. On the plus side, the TV show did cause the comics to un-kill Alfred and introduce the new Batgirl.

[@gemmar1095]

They killed Alfred!?

[@rajvader]

Yes. Reportedly because there were some misgivings about three unrelated males, one an adolescent boy, living together all alone in that isolated estate. Alfred got killed (saving the Dynamic Duo) and replaced with Aunt Harriet. The producers of the TV show liked the Alfred character, so the comic writers contrived a way to resurrect him. (Beating Superman to the punch by decades!)

[@TruGouki]

rajvader ....... well i guess the tv show did something right

[@minimojon2]

every one keeps on forgetting that batman was once a vampire

I love the various Batman tv series and movies, but have not read many of the comic books. I attended a Batman panel at Comikaze in L.A. today, this video helped educate me on the myriad storylines/arc/versions.

[@madamenononsense6020]

I want to start getting into the Batman comic/world. Where should I begin? Do I have to go back to the very beginning or can I read the stories this guy listed and still be good?

[@LuisTorres-tc2ud]

The comics he listed are a good way to get ahead,but you can also watch the animated series.I didn't start reading comics until after i watched the "superhero" animated series.

[@IcoKirov]

the avobe advise is good, you can also add the "Batman: Mask of the Phantasm" to Batman The Animated Series, if you still havent. it is clasic, and also describes a bit more about the beginning of batman in batman TAS.

[@Fatboyftw32]

Well if you want to get into the comics pick up Batman the court of owls, it's part of the new 52 line of DC Comics that were basically made specifically so people have a jumping on point. Although some of Batman's best comics that you should pick up at some point are The killing joke, The Dark Knight returns (this is non canon but it's still one of most highly acclaimed Batman comics), and The death of the family.

[@Fran-mh2ef]

[@alexander1485]

the only thing i hate about batman is that he never kills anyone..... its like he would save the city way better if he actually killed them for good.

[@FaceUnreality]

My problem is the justice system in the DC world, the stuff the Joker does he would have been deemed to dangerous to live and be given the death penalty years ago. But nooo he just gets put in an asylum only for him to escape. Mentally unstable or not the Joker is to far gone for the law not to put him on the electric chair.

[@whovianhistorybuff]

FaceUnreality​ under the definition of criminal insanity I don't believe that the joker would be deemed insane by the courts, under most legal systems you are considered insane if you are diagnosed with a mental illness that prevents you from being aware of 1, what you're doing and 2,whether or not it's legal or morally wrong and to me the joker doesn't fit either of those criteria in the real world someone like him would have been deemed sane by the courts and imprisoned or executed

[@Martin214Rueda]

If he did kill, wouldn't that end the story?

[@LoverOfManyArts]

Only certain villains, I don't want to see people like poison ivy or two face or Mr freeze killed, but I wouldn't mind it if batman killed people like the joker, he's one of the most dangerous and cruel

[@amritpal79]

***** well if batman killed the joker we would no longer have awesome storylines with the joker, and soon there wouldnt be any villains for batman leaving him with what ? You should go see the animated film 'Batman under the red hood' because it is very relevant to what you are thinking about how batman should kill people like the joker.

[@donkrouskop8739]

Also, it's amazing how little credit modern fans give the TV series for making Batman a household name, and thus allowing the character to continue to grow in popularity far beyond the comic reading audience. If you really believe the Burton films drew that big an audience simply because he struck the right tone in them, and not because parents and grandparents who loved that 60s show went along with their teenage and preteen kids to the theater, you need to re-examine history. You can hate that show all you like, but it was a cultural phenomenon when it was new, and a fixture in syndication throughout the 70s and 80s. Millions of people became Batman fans because of it - people who might not otherwise have ever read a comic book or bought a ticket to a theatrical Batman film. So it got a lot right, in terms of building a brand name that continues to flourish to this day.

@@rimshot2270 what comic years are we talking about? Cuz the Italian mob was a very relevant topic in America in the 60s-70s before the RICO laws were put in place to finally incriminate the bosses I believe. They were a major power in America in those days. After that I assume they kept them around because they already had a foothold in the comics

[@rimshot2270]

@@vchapa22 In the very early years of Batman there were still a number of Irish and Jewish organized crime mobs. What's more, the "good guys" all had so-called "American" names like Wayne, Grayson, and Gordon. There were no Jews, Italians, Poles, Hispanics, or blacks in the ranks of the law. They weren't even supporting characters, except for a few stereotyped Irish cops. DC wasn't the only company guilty of this.

Batman is the greatest superhero due to his Rouges gallery. They each represent different aspects, like Bane = Strength, Oswald and Harvey = Corruption, Selina and Pamela = lust, Nigma = intellect, Joker = chaos and madness and so on, and Batman emerges victorious through all these and without losing his moral code and himself. That's why, he is the best superhero of all time.
