Batman - what an important part of pop culture in the world. Batman is the darkest hero of the comic world, and perhaps his popularity is due to the fact that he is not a meta-human; he has no special abilities or powers other than his strength and intelligence, which have been developed through hard work and training.

Perhaps Batman's obsessive behaviour gives us a glimpse of what would happen if our little obsessive behaviours became overwhelming. Or maybe his dark side brings out the dark side of every person.

Maybe Batman's motivation is what draws us to him - his parents' tragic, senseless murder, and a man trying to make sure that no one in Gotham City has to undergo what he did as a child. Whatever the reason, Batman seems to be the most compelling character in comics, ever.

This site explores Batman, as portrayed in the comics. A look into his allies and enemies will reveal what he faces on a daily basis. A description of the comics he appears in, and reviews about the individual comics, will help you decide which comics to read.

The only thing better than being a Batman fan is getting to share it with other people. There are many opportunities to exchange your thoughts through the interactive areas here.
