Collecting superhero memorbilia, toys and games has been a lifelong hobby for me and thousands of other dedicated superhero fans.
Today I want to talk briefly about the origins of the batman....
Batman first appeared in 1940 in the series of"detective comics"
The plot of Batman is that he is a rich socialite called Bruce Wayne, who as a child watched his parents murdered in a street hold up, As he grew up bruce vowed to stop villains of all kinds. Usually aided by his young ward dick grayson , AKA Robin, his butler Alfred Pennyworth, the city police commissioner Gordon, and chief o hara, gordon's daughter Barbara AKA Batgirl and others. Some of the villians he continues to fight to this day are The Penguin, The Joker, Catwoman, The Mad Hatter, Mr. Freeze, The Riddler, and Two Face to mention just a few...
The amount of batman merchandise on the market today is huge and I am going to pick old and new items to talk about in future posts.
