batman costume. Todays modern look

By jack taylor

Batman was originally called The Bat Man and has been a fictional character in DC comic books since 1939 and more recently the driving force behind the demand for child batman costumes.

Batman spends his daily life as Bruce Wayne who runs his own well established business. His dark background,we are led to believe, is what gives him the dark persona, having witnessed the murder of his parents.

The two main characters in his life are his butler and Robin, his associate on the various mission he undertakes in his batman costume. Batman, unlike other super heroes of the time, has no super powers, although you might think he had when you see him in action in the comic strips and in recent films.

The public liked the character when it was launched and the longevity led to his appearance in a tv series in the 60's.

Batman appeared initially in 1943 in a newspaper column and was soon followed by a serial.He then went on to appear in the adventures of superman in 1945. All this PR helped to launch batman as a household name,

120 tv episodes started in 1966 and ran until 1968. Batman was scripted with a camp sense of humor, which Adam West the actor was not too happy about. It did not seem to affect the popularity of batman.

From 1973 until 1984, Batman had a starring role in the television production Super Friends , animated by Hana-Barbera. Olan Soule provided the voice of Batman, and was eventually replaced by Adam West.
