Growing up, when it came to comics, it was either Batman or Superman that reined supreme. To me, Batman was the ultimate superhero. The great thing is, he had no actual super powers. He was just a regular guy who suffered a great tragedy, and dedicated his life to making his city safer for the people around him. Batman wasn't your regular happy-go-lucky superhero, either. He was mysterious, dark and kept to himself. Batman had a secret hide-out (how many kids didn't want their own Bat cave?), he had millions of dollars which to spend on awesome weapons and vehicles and he had a costume that, in comparison to most super heroes, actually looked pretty bad ass. I'm sure every kid around my age dressed up as Batman for Halloween at least once in their life. articlepros
