What got you into Batman?

[son of booyah]

Yeah, TAS for sure. Also I started writing fanfic based on what I knew from TAS and got deeper into the comics to improve my understanding of the mythos.

[Geralt of Rivia]

He's been my tie for favorite DC superhero since I watched those Super Friends reruns back in the 80s. GL is the other.

Now my favorite DC character is another story...

Batman the Animated Series got me to watch Batman but I did not pick up a Batman title until Batman and Robin by Grant Morrison. I read other titles like Birds of Prey and Nightwing but I did not read a Batman-centric book until Dick Grayson became Batman.

Wow. I don't remember if it's Batman 66 tv series or The Greatest Batman Stories Ever Told or the first Batman toy I ever got. It was ugly and low quality, most likely bootlegged. The toy, I mean. I remember having all of those really really early in life. Like, kindergarten early. I think the toy was the last though.

Batman the Animated Series introduced me to the real Batman as a kid.

Before that i only knew Batman from the Adam West show.

[Byrant]

In the comics the fact that Batman has a biological son Damian.

[dietrich]

In the comics the fact that Batman has a biological son Damian.

Snap! Damian got me into Batman comics too

[Katana500]

I started reading slightly after new 52 started. I think I was regularly reading batman somepoint after the death of the family arc. Dunno what made me want to read in the firstplace.

[titansupes]

The Burton movies introduced me to him.

[Tarantino]

1. A school friend of mine. one day he brought a huge Batman comic to school. From then I was kind off hooked.

2. My older cousin was also a huge fan and used to tell me about his personality.

3. Batman Returns

[AJpyro]

A tie between Batman by Burton and TAS.

[Moonwix]

For me, it was the Nolan batman movies. It was the first time batman felt like a real superhero and less of a vigilante.

[Walter West]

Adam West re-runs in the mid-70s, and then there was that Filmation series that had Adam West and Burt Ward "The New Adventures of Batman" on Saturday mornings. Filmation had some neat ideas like Manta and Moray, Freedom Force, and the Tarzan animated series which I loved as a kid.

Batman the Animated Series

[phantom1592]

Adam West and the Superfriends was my introduction. As far as Comic Batman, There were probably a few hit and misses of Silver Age Justice League comics... but the real hook was the pocketsized, 'The Untold Legend of the Batman' Black and White TPB.
