A deep-dive into the history of Batman! We go back to a time before Marvel to uncover the birth of the superhero and the creation of maybe the most famous comic book character of all time!

We’ll find out how Batman changed again in the 70’s and 80’s to return to his grim and gritty origins, and how DC Comics changed the comic book world forever with The Dark Knight Returns! We’ll also examine where the inspiration for Batman came from and look at who is really responsible for creating this truly iconic character! This clip is taken from our bigger episode covering the 1989 Batman movie.
