Batman

A community portal about Batman with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Batman is a DC Comics fictional superhero who first appeared in Detective Comics #27 in May 1939. He has since become, along with Superman and Spider-Man, one of the world's most recognized superheroes. Batman was co-created by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger, although only Kane receives official credit for the character. Batman's secret identity is Bruce Wayne, a billionaire industrialist, playboy, and philanthropist. Witnessing the murder of his parents as a child leads him to train himself to the peak of physical and intellectual perfection, don a bat -themed costume, and fight crime. Unlike most superheroes, he does not possess superhuman powers or abilities; he makes use of intellect, detective skills, science and technology, wealth, physical prowess, and intimidation in his war on crime.

When Exactly Did The Joker Get Cute?

Written by bigpicture on

From: www.getthebigpicture.net

With $500 million and counting and Heath Ledger's revved up reconfiguring of the top villain in comic book history, I knew The Joker was going to be the number one Halloween costume of the year, and as the aptly but not-so-cleverly named Halloween Costumes 4 U proves, demand to live in The Joker's skin even for one night is a big draw for adults, plus-sized guys, and even kids.

Seriously, if you're a parent and you let your son go out dressed as the freaky, slash-faced master of chaos and bedlam, I don't want to live in your neighborhood. That Joker get-up is a gateway costume. By the time he's 12, your kid will be dressing up as Bob Guccione's Caligula for Halloween. Or worse, Nicolas Cage.

But there's one kid already dressing up as The Joker, and his name is Jack Kropinak. Little Jack is the star of a sweded Dark Knight trailer featuring an all-kid cast. In fact, it's an all Kropinak kid cast. I applaud their efforts. This is easily better than both of Joel Schumacher's attempts at making a Batman film.

Best moment: The exclaimed "Like me!" I know there's a lot of discussion about whether or not Christopher Nolan will return to make the third Batman movie, and I think right about now he feels Alex Kropinak breathing down his neck.
