Since his debut in
Detective Comics #27, Batman has become one of the best-known comic heroes
of all time. Created by the legendary Bob Kane, Batman is one of the rare
characters who have transcended comics to become cultural icons. Batman
(a.k.a. Bruce Wayne) protects the citizens of Gotham City from a
never-ending array of criminals. Over the years, his foes have included
such famous villains as Joker, The Penguin, Catwoman, and countless
others. Where once he was a fairly straightforward super-hero (complete
with Robin, the boy sidekick), Batman has been transformed over time into
an increasingly complex character. Now he is the Dark Knight, an avenger
of evil who also must face up to the darkness within his own soul. |
