Batman is my favorite superhero and always has been. He represents a great
many things to me. He teaches kids and teens alike morals and virtues. The
Dark Knight has always been my hero, and even though I know now that he isn't
exactly a flesh and blood hero, the ideas and person he represents are real.
For decades now, Batman has brought the same joy and heroism to generation
after generation. His popularity never dies and the future looks even brighter.
The films have ranged from great to awful, with the last installment a complete
travesty. Joel Shumacher may actually be Batman's worst arch-enemy!
But with Warners getting the point, and returning our favorite hero
to his dark roots, they will fix all that in Part Five. Batman Returns was
the closet to the animated series visually, and I loved the story but many
people hated it, thinking it was too dark. It still remains one of my favorite
portrayals of the dark knight ever, as you can see from my review section.
The comics are still huge and the new toys sell out everywhere. There
will always be a Batman. And, with luck, there will always be some of Batman
in all of us.

Batman and Robin are the true Dynamic Duo in "The Adventures Of Batman And
Robin" from Warner Animation. Many of these classic animated shows
are available on video from Warner Home Video and also many are repeated
during the new Batman/Superman Adventure Hour. The show, renamed from Batman:
The Animated Series, has retained it's good writing and excellent animation
style while the films that inspired it have dwindled with each installment.
THE 60's TV SERIES:
I grew up watching reruns of the old Batman TV show. Adam West and Burt Ward
were Batman and Robin. I'd rush home after school and stay up late
on weekends for the show, loving everything about it!!! Adam has his own

Batman The Animated Series
Currently on the Kids' WB Network, the Batman / Superman Adventures Hour
is incredible entertainment, with Batman sporting a darker look, much like
his 40's comic style. I love the retro look and think it fits him
perfectly.
I am vengeance. I am the night. I am Batman.
