Some Interesting Facts About Batman
I grew up on Batman comics. From the Justice League of America on Saturday morning cartoons to the live series starring Adam West to the comic books, Batman was always one of the best superheroes around. As a teenager and young adult, I even owned a comic book store with my parents where I had the opportunity to learn about all sorts of comics. Batman still remained one of my favorites. I thought I knew everything about Dark Knight, but I was wrong. Here is a list of interesting facts about Batman lore that I never heard of and I am betting that it will be new to you, as well!

Five Things You Didn’t Know About Batman
The Dark Knight is a part of our culture. From the comic books to the Christopher Nolan movies, Batman is a favorite of children and adults alike. He is a masked vigilante that does the things we might fantasize about, but wouldn't consider because of the consequences. I think one of the biggest draws about Batman is that he is just a normal guy. He didn't come from outer space, he isn't a mad scientist with futuristic weaponry, and he isn't a mutant that can transform into something otherworldly. He's a guy. A rich guy, yes, albeit, he could be you or me. Searching the information banks, I've come up with five things you might not know about this caped crusader. He's a pretty complex guy and so were the people who created him. Read more...

2009 Origins: Five Best Superheroes
Once again, we posed the question at Origins Game Fair in Columbus, Ohio this year, asking attendees to see who they thought were their favorite Superheroes of all time. The list spread out over 190 different superheroes ranging from the highly popular to the completely obscure. Did your superhero make the list? I found that some of the superheroes mentioned would not have been on the list at all if this question was asked even a year ago. Mainstream media made sensations out of the characters in the Watchmen - a movie that debuted this year and found all of the heroes and villains from the classic comic book series on the list - including some of the minor characters from the movie and comic series! Still, others that I would have thought would have fared higher on our lists didn't reach the top five. See below for the winners from this year's Origins Game Fair!
