So I've decided to have a little fun here and I'm going to be posting one of my top favorite DC super heroes each day for the next 10 days (at least, it is planned to be my top 10 heroes at this time).

So without further ado, let's cover the first and most obvious choice:



I was first introduced to Batman back in 89 by the Adam West series and I thought it was terrible even at 7 years old. I loved the Burton movie and it was the very first VHS tape I bought with my own money. And then came The Animated Series, which just blew me away and was what truly made me a Batman fan. I was there when Knightfall occurred and enjoyed it, but then I kind of fell out of the comics in the late 90's until Batman Begins hit the scene and I went all out with HUSH, The LOng Halloween, No Man's Land and Cataclysm, Year One, The Dark Knight Returns, Tales of the Demon, etc. I love many things about each era of Batman, but the version from the 70's has become my absolutely favorite. I just absolutely love the stories Denny O'Neil and Len Wein have written, and the artwork by Neal Adams and Dick Giordano is just gorgeous.

I love the history of Batman, his tragic backstory, and the fact that he is brilliant. He has a back up plan to go with a back up plan that is covered by another back up plan. His gadgets are cool and how can you not like the concept of a man who dresses up as a bat to fight criminals? Sometimes they do seem to make Batman over powered these days, as it seems like he is invincible at times rather than just using wit to win a fight, but when he is done right, he is done extremely right. I don't really think there is anything else I can say about the man that nobody does not know about.

Finally, he has probably the most diverse and memorable cast of rogues out of anyone in the DC universe, or even the comic universe next to Spider-Man. Everyone knows the Joker, Catwoman, Penguin, Riddler, Two-Face, and Mr Freeze. However, I consider Ra's al Ghul to be his greatest nemesis as the man is the exact opposite of what both Bruce Wayne and Batman together stand for. I also consider Talia to be his true love. Even the lesser rogues such as Scarecrow, Black Mask, Mad Hatter, Poison Ivy, Clayface(s), Killer Croc, Scarface and Wesker, and Calendar Man to mob bosses like Falconi and Thorn are such rich characters you can't help but enjoy what they have to offer.

So with that said, Batman is the first of my top ten favorite heroes of the DC universe.

Check back tomorrow for my next choice.
