Things You Didn't Know About Batman


3 Things You Didn't Know About Batman

Our idolized caped vigilante has been close to our hearts for many years, and will be for many more to come. Although lacking superpowers in comparison to his allies, the ever growing hero will never lose our support. But do we know as much about the hero as we think? Get ready for 3 things you didn't know about Batman.

Batman was an extra

While Arkham's Knight is arguably the most loved superhero to date, he was introduced in a less than conventional way. His first debut was in DC Comic's Detective Comics in 1939. To put it into perspective he was introduced in issue #27 of the series. After his character gained traction from being featured in the following issues, Batman was given his own comic in the following year where other notable characters such as Joker and Catwomen were debuted. And while most of his fans don't want to believe that he was initially just a supporting character in one of DC's projects, we have to make do with the fact that he wasn't just introduced as Gotham's favourite Caped Crusader.

Batman is a murderer

While the iconic hero is not known as the type to end another human's life for their bad behavior, in his early years he was known to toss evil doers off of buildings, throw them in pools of acid and occasionally break their bones. It may come as a surprise but Batman had an extremely different method of bringing justice to Gotham than he does now. Earlier versions of Detective Comics evidently featured a much harder character who lacked the infamous no killing rule that the PG-13 hero holds true today. It may be possible that his persona was slightly altered due to his growing popularity amongst the youth, and that his previous style of justice was just a tactic to pique interest amongst the wide audience of Detective Comic readers. Well whatever the motivation it obviously worked for the better.

The Arkham Asylum is real

And if it wasn't already bad enough, the stereotypical spooky house of the damned turns out to be real. The infamous Asylum portrayed in Batman's games and blockbuster movies offers the same level of fear and atrocity as its real life counterpart. Down to the overly decorated patient rooms and the eerily spooky ambience depicted in both the games and movies, this place is sure to offer a warm welcome.
