I am not sure were I wish this one to start with this one other than yes even though the guy known as the wall crawler is still my top number uno comic book super hero is this guy right here......
known as Peter Parker this very year two thousand fourteen or twenty fourteen if you prefer is the seventy fifth year of no not the first super hero ever, that guy's name also starts with a "S" as well! No the fella we are yet again shedding a light on is a guy that is much like Marvel's Tony Stark character of Iron Man in only one way the two fellas have a lot of what everyone could use these days money. His name just happens to be Bruce Wayne who at night and sometimes in the daytime as well is Batman. I will let you know that for me Matt Byrd he is my favorite character from the D.C. universe even over these three seen here
and since you all know I like these said comic characters do I really need to name them as well?, other than how I have them set up picture wise I know you can figure out....just by using your noggin, what that means? Let's get back to Mister Wayne though shall we, he was created by two guys like Superman was in nineteen thirty eight, but his start was a whole year later nineteen thirty nine with this as his debut issue cover
Detective Comics number twenty seven with the month of May as the release date, which back then was in reality was July/August or even maybe October who really knows....... I'm saying this with from what I think is informational correct with how long it took to see the returns on sales from Marvel, which was known as Timely Comics back in those days. It was when I got my copy of special edition of "BATMAN BEGINS" in the fall of two thousand six that it had included in the packaging a special seventy two page mini comic that featured Detective Comics number twenty seven as well.The mini comic contained a Batman story called "The Man Who Falls" and also the first chapter of "The Long Halloween". All three of those very stories helped define that film.Bruce Wayne no matter how you look at him was truly a character pushed to the edge to be
Batman, by witnessing his father Tomas and his mother Martha Wayne gunned down by a assassin's bullet when he was just eight years old. The Wayne's butler Alfred cares for the boy while he helps set up the lad future with his folks many money trusts, at the age of thirteen or maybe before that I'm not really sure but young Bruce comes into wanting to solve puzzles which he later apply to his training to keep himself fit when he first dons the famous grey and Blue tights. Batman's first appearance on film came in the late nineteen forties after his pal the boy wonder was introduced to the world and was revealed to be none other than Dick Grayson his young ward as Bruce Wayne in Detective comics number
thirty eight, dated April nineteen forty. In these old sepia/black and white shorts Batman was played by Robert Lowery, and Robin was portrayed by John Duncan and their adversary was known as The Wizard and this short movie serial went and ran before the main picture of a feature film of that era. It consisted of fifteen parts and nowadays is available on either Netflix or the many other internet movie channels or it's found on DVD under
this title, Batman and Robin the complete 1949 movie serial collection. Of two guys I mentioned earlier I can say this of Batman's two creators one was very much a part of his mythology as the other who made his everyday look that we all have come to love, the man who came up with most of the character's story was a writer of comics like Stan Lee is of Spider-Man but his name isn't really associated with Bruce or Batman as we should know it to be......in fact I happen to have this very card that
I'm showing you all here. Still everyone who is a fan of the character knows the name Kane or rather I should say Bob Kane who for the most part if not all together stole the shared limelight of Batman's humble beginnings, still one can't deny Kane's work of art
seen here help sell the character even over his own
design for the look as well. So even if Bill was the idea man for much of Batman's word balloons he ended up more like the Steve Ditko Spider-Man co-creator artist an unknown and uncredited part of Batman's lore, yet as I said Bob Kane's name is unanimously linked to Bruce Wayne. In fact I do seem to recall that I last year took on the appearance of one of Batman's most puzzling foes with a
running or rather jumping away from our birthday boy of seventy five years.........
