We all know Batman as a legendary comic book character. We may all know him even better as the character played by Christian Bale in the highly successful recent movies produced by Christopher Nolan. Though we know Batman as a crime fighting, terrifying to criminals, stud, he has gone through a lot of changes through his history.
Batman made his first appearance in 1939 in a six page story called "The Case of the Chemical Syndicate". Batman was actually equipped with a gun in his beginnings as he shot a criminal in one comic, followed by DC disarming the vigilante. He would also kill criminals without hesitation, which is a significant difference from the current Batman where not killing anyone is his "one rule".
Creators Bob Kane and Bill Finger took Batman through countless changes. Changing his colors, adding things, taking things, away, to the portrayal we know now. Which brings up to the Batman of today. The Dark Knight was one of the highest grossing films of all time. With a powerhouse cast and an excellent story line taken from the graphic novels, Batman fans are asking what is in store for the next and allegedly last movie of the series. There are rumors floating all over the internet as to who the next Batman villain will be. A deep pool of DC characters and a long history of past villains are all in the equation. Do some research, who do you think will be the next Dark Knight villain?
I have always been a fan of Batman. It really took off when the Animated series came out in the 90's. I still think that is the best representation of Batman done in animated form. Also if I were to guess, I would say that the Riddler would be the next villan for the movie.
