Batman is an immensely popular fictional superhero appearing on many American comic books produced by DC comics. The character was first created by writer Bob Kane and artist Bill Finger and first appears in Detective Comics issue 27 in 1939. Since then, Batman has become one of the most beloved and recognizable comic book characters in the world. There are several different versions of the character, which has led to the creation of several different variations of the character. For example, in the comics of the late nineteen sixties and the early nineteen seventies, Batman's identity is not revealed until he becomes a masked vigilante, taking on criminals by night. In this version of the character, Batman's origin is never revealed to readers but rather is explained through his actions. Since then, there have been several variations of Batman, including the Dark Knight trilogy of comics that have followed the Batman comic books into various other mediums.
There are two popular versions of the Dark Knight, who is played by Christian Bale and Tom Hardy. Bale is the more well known of the two and is perhaps the more well known of the two actors who play the role of Batman, but both actors bring a unique type of the comic book character to life. Both actors portray the character in very distinct ways, with Bale portraying a more heroic figure, while Hardy portrays a darker, brooding and antiheroic character. Since the characters in the film share such extreme differences, there are some similarities between the characters of the film, which may not be a coincidence.
Although the film The Dark Knight has been a huge box office hit, it is unlikely that it will become as well known or popular as the early Batman comic books. However, there are a number of television shows that have brought a new twist to the Caped Crusader, and they are likely to continue to make him popular for years to come. If you wish to add another dimension to your favorite television series, or are simply looking to get into a new Batman comic, you are sure to find the show that suits you.
