BATMAN-MOST ICONIC COMIC CHARACTER

Perhaps one of the most legendary & iconic comic characters ever created till date.It was created by Bob Kane & Bill Finger,had it not been for them we would have surely missed out the legend of Nolan's movie on the Dark Knight.Being an ardent follower of the Batman right from my childhood,Batman The Animated Series was the first show whereby i saw my hero for the first time.The memory still remains intact with me,fighting over with my family to watch the show twice a day on Cartoon Network.

There have been many legendary comic characters till date like The Man of Steel-Superman,The Spiderman,Wolverine,He-Man,Hulk,Iron Man besides many more, but what makes The Batman stand out from the rest is is sheer human abilities.He isn't born special but overcame many of his adversities to become one with Vengence,no super powers whatsoever.The thing that makes his legend even more cult is his sheer Bad-Ass attitude towards the bad guys. It's phenomenal to watch.I must admit i am 22 right now & i am righting this as a sheer fan of his(self proclaimed biggest fan of his:D).His cars,his gadgets,his attitude,no-nonsense approach,his sheer presence as showcased in Christopher Nolan's movie is iconic.Trust me i have watched The Batman trilogy more than anyone i know of & it still gives me goosebumps.Other comic characters are great in their own way but the Batman's legend is such it cannot be defined.His duels with the Ras-al-Ghul,Bane,Poison Ivy,The Riddler,The Mad Hatter,Two Face,Scarecrow&his biggest nemesis ,The Joker have been more than iconic.The Batman has always enjoyed cult status among its fans & rightly so.You call him whatever u might want to-The Dark Knight,The Caped Crusader,Watchful Protector.

The World's Greatest Detective he is what he is called.The Batman trilogy by Nolan further boosted the waning state of Batman movies in the past which were not quite upto the marks.Who can forget the iconic DC Comics which showcased Batman to the world audience.May 27,1939 & mind you still counting the Legend of the Dark Knight still goes strong..His chemistry with the Joker is absolutely fantastic

With no super powers,inhuman strength,skilfull training & zeal to overturn the fortunes of Gotham City & to instill fear in the minds of Criminals the Batman for sure made us a huge fan of his.I am a fan of him since i was a kid & i will always remain so,even more when i listen to the Batman theme by Hans Zimmer or Shirley Walker.The Batman may be a fictional character but he will always remain the one i idiolised & dreamt of following his principles.It may sound as if i am writing a fan letter to my childhood hero but he indeed is a Hero.An iconic character with phenomenal skills,brute strength,a mind that even the likes of Sherlock Holmes & Alfred Hitchcock would have envied..The Batmobile,Batpod & plenty of his gadgets made us shell shocked & touched our childlike enthusiasm time & again.As intimidating he was to his enemies he was & will always be a cool,bad-ass,detective,hero to his fans.Here's to the greatest comic character ever that i know of The Batman.

MS Dhoni-Greatest ODI Batsman ever?

With the recent triumph in the tri-series held in West Indies & also winning  the final edition of the champions trophy Mahendra Singh Dhoni has time & again proved all of us of his superman abilities with the cricket bat as well as sheer brilliance while donning the captain's hat.The guy from Ranchi has really conquered ODI cricket to say the least,a format which he enjoys more than Test Cricket.Dhoni who was a football enthusiast in his school days was a goalkeeper for his team.While growing up he idolised Amitabh Bachchan,Lata Mangeshkar,Adam Gilchrist & the man he would help cherish his dream of winning the ultimate trophy of his illustrious hall of hame career,the Master Blaster himself Sachin Tendulkar.

ODI Cricket has seen many mavericks with the bat lyk Sir Viv Richards,Sachin Tendulkar,Saurav Ganguly,Mark Waugh,Michael Bevan,Saeed Anwar,Ricky Ponting & Brian Lara besides many others but Dhoni has surely booked a place for himself in the list of the game's greatest ever.It is unfair to compare MS Dhoni with Sir Viv or Sachin or any other player for the matter of fact but it can be said that Dhoni has been one of ODI cricket's finest ever.His amazing display of powerful shots besides calmness while playing under pressure is that of profound significance.He has been one of the greatest finishers the game has ever seen.The man has won it all u name it ICC T20 World cup,ICC Champions Trophy,ICC Cricket World Cup,Tri Series win down under against the Aussies besides also help India be the World no.1 Team in both the ODI as well as the Test Format.He had his share of quite large amount of criticism some people even questioning his place in the squad,his unorthodox batting style his captaincy but he has time & again proved his metal with the bat.In 200 ODI innings he has amassed 7358  runs @ an astounding average of 51.45 with 57 not outs besides scoring 8 Hundreds & 48 Half Centuries.He bats quite lower down the order, sometimes even promotes himself up the order.He performs when it matters the most,crunch time.He is clutch when the teams needs to chase.He has time & again won the match for the Indian Team especially his innings of 183* against Sri Lanka @ Jaipur,148 against Pak @ Vizag,impeccable 91 in the world cup finals,or for the matter of fact his most recent knock of 45 in the finals against Sri Lanka,he won the match with India needing 15 of the very last over.He has amassed bowlers like Mohammed Sami,Brett Lee,Malinga,Dale Steyn,James Anderson for plenty.He has been an impact player,he has won countless matches for the team.Personally i feel he will one day go down as the  one of the greatest ODI batsman of all time.People might disagree they may say it has to be Sir Viv Or Sachin but i feel the impact that Dhoni has,the matches he has won when the chips are down,a complete match winner.That's what matters,winning.Take a bow MS Dhoni your a thorough legend perhaps one of the most dominant & greatest ever#respect.
