75 Years of Batman


Batman has been a true celebrity since his inception by artist Bob Kane in 1939, despite having no superpowers at his disposal nor having the gift of immortality. He's a normal, everyday guy who happens to have a huge bank balance and an equally huge drive against criminals. Perhaps that is his biggest appeal as he has traversed every entertainment medium possible - from comics to films to music to games - and has left his impact on pop culture of the decades gone by.

The iconic DC Comics' Dark Knight turns 75 this year, and on this momentous occasion, the guys over at UK's Digital Spy magazine have compiled a complete A-Z of the Caped Crusader's digital life.

(remember to move your mouse cursor over the artwork poster in the link above for some interesting facts)

Also, an anniversary video depicting the renegade vigilante's ever-increasing popularity over the years:

When I had to give up comics a few years ago due to finances Batman was the hardest to let go. Next to Sgt. Rock and Sgt. Fury the Dark Knight is my favorite comic character and my all-time favorite super-hero. Supey and Spidey are tied for a close second but it's hard to beat the Bat!
