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.
