Happy Birthday Batman!

Today marks the day of the debut of Detective Comics #27 on newstands on April 25, 1939.

[Ack]

Man, Batman's looking good for a 72-year-old.

He sure was a late bloomer. Didn't hit his stride till the 90's.

Adam West would beg to differ.

I think you're a bit off. The 1940s saw two movie-serials and a regular radio show. The 60s saw a VERY successful (unexplicably) TV Show and a movie as well as a cartoon. And then there's the superb 1989 movie.

There's also a ton of comic stories I could name here that ran through the decades.

I don't like bullshit so Batman's birthday is just another normal day for me.

What I meant by "stride" was when he got to his very best. I've seen the 40's serials, and it was good, but not great. I like the 60's stuff, but it's really a very weird, light-hearted Batman. And the '89 movie was awful. I'll concede the comic stories though.
