Batman

Batman is one of the oldest comic book creations of our time. We've seen everything from the campy Batman from the original television series to Christopher Nolan's gritty Caped Crusader in 'The Dark Knight.' Nolan's Batman wasn't fun, never smiled and underwent a throat-wrenching voice change every time Bruce Wayne put on the Batsuit. So not the kind of Batman kids would like at a birthday party.

Do-gooders often dress up like superheroes such as Batman and entertain sick kids at the hospital. But seven-year-old Kye wanted more than just a chance to meet the Caped Crusader. A cancer patient from Arlington, TX, Kye wanted to be Batman. So the non-profit group Wish with Wings, alongside the Arlington Police and Fire Departments, made Kye's dream a reality for one very exciting day. And, as y

Waiting with baited breath for 'The Dark Knight Rises' to hit theaters on July 20th? Well, we've got another trailer for the hotly-anticipated movie to tide you over. And this time, it's done entirely using LEGO! It's the (fake) trailer Gotham needs.

A video of a man wearing an awesome Batman suit whose black Lamborghini was pulled over in Maryland for not having proper tags went viral last week. And why wouldn't it? Well, it turns out the man behind the mask isn't really Bruce Wayne, despite having a couple hundred grand to blow on a fine Italian sports cars. But Lenny B. Robinson, a 48-year-old businessman from Baltimore County, is a hero in

It was only a couple days ago that we showed you a video of Batman cruising in his 'Batmobile' (but really a black Lamborghini) on I-95 in Silver Spring, Maryland. What we didn't see later is the same Batman getting pulled over by Montgomery Country police because of an improper rear license plate. Turns out the bat symbol isn't a street legal plate.

It makes sense that a billionaire like Bruce Wayne would have an expensive taste in motor vehicles. But it isn't every day that you get to see his alter-ego, Batman, cruising around in his Lamborghini. Perhaps his Batmobile was in the shop.

There are many important questions in life. Why are we here? What's life all about? If the 1989 Batmobile and the 1966 Batmobile got in a race, who would win? Now, we have an answer.

Criminals in Brazil don't just have to watch out for the cops -- now they need to check over their shoulders for Batman, too.

Looking for a stylish way to keep warm? Then consider the Batman Snuggie, which allows couch potatoes to masquerade as the Caped Crusader himself. Pretty cool, but, unfortunately, it doesn't make Snuggies any less dorky.

Comic book heroes and villains die and come back to life often, but only one death was dictated entirely by the fans. Robin has died and been replaced several times throughout the series, but in 1988, Jason “Robin” Todd’s fate was left in the hands of his supposed fans. The “Death in the Family” storyline featured Robin finding his birth mother in Ethopia only to discover that she had turned him o

The world of Batman officially became a cultural touchstone when it leapt off the page and became a massive television hit in the 1960s. Not only did Batman (Adam West) and Robin (Burt Ward) become overnight celebrities, but the villains who got in on the act are also remembered and revered for their work on the campy superhero show. Singer Frank Sinatra reportedly wanted to be Batman’s main foe b

The Harvard Lampoon is well known for their on-campus pranks and one of their most famous capers involved Burt Ward’s infamous tights. Ward was invited to speak at Harvard in the 1980s, mostly as a prank by some students to see if the staff would go for it. Ward accepted and spoke before a student body of 250 students and as a special surprise, he also brought the costume he wore on the TV show on

'Batman' only lasted three seasons after the novelty wore off and ABC decided to cancel the campy series. However, there was a chance that another network might be interested in picking up the show, so ABC kept the iconic set in place as they waited for offers. A couple of weeks passed and no offers materialized, so the network ordered that Batman’s “Bat Cave” and other sets be demolished to make

Any pop culture property that involves two men or women living together for an extended period of time seems to automatically attract theories about a homosexual relationship. The questions about the Dynamic Duo’s “questionable” relationship actually date back to one man: Dr. Fredric Wertham. In the 1950s, the psychologist was to comic books what Jack Thompson is to video games. Wertham led a mass

Christopher Nolan’s brilliant revival of the Batman film series after the dismal releases of Joel Schumacher’s ‘Batman Forever’ and ‘Batman & Robin’ breathed new life into a movie hero that most thought would never again see the light of day (or the dark of night). It also attracted threats of an interesting lawsuit. The mayor of Batman, Turkey threatened to sue Nolan and Warner Bros. for infr
