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.
