Happy 75 Years, Batman!

I just found out from DCComics.com today that yesterday marked the 75th anniversary of the release of Detective Comics Vol. 1 No. 27 (cover date: May 1939), the comic book issue that marked the first appearance of one of the most popular superheroes to appear in U.S. comics, and by extension, all media (incl. animation and video games). Yes, we are talking about Batman, one of DC Comics' flagship super-heroes. He's been appearing in comics every month nonstop for 75 years and still enjoyed by many readers worldwide today with many more awesome years to come.

You should check out Batman75.com to find out what DC Comics and Warner Bros. have planned to celebrate Batman's 75th anniversary. As for me, I'm in the process of brainstorming what to do to next to for celebrating Batman's 75 years after reading Detective Comics Vol. 2 No. 27-29, and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing the pilot for the upcoming James Gordon-centric cop show Gotham.

The DC and Marvel Heroes Forum: Imagine Yourself As A DCU Hero/Villain

Usually I present one topic per forum post for The DC and Marvel Heroes Forum, but with the Injustice: Gods Among Us craze going on, I feel like making an exception.

Topic 1
Imagine yourself a character in the DC Universe. If you can be any DCU super-hero (or super-heroine for female readers), who would it be? Lots to chosse from: whether it's Superman, Batman, Nightwing, Green Lantern, The Flash, Black Canary, Starfire, Aquaman, or whatsoever. You're welcome to talk about why.

Topic 2
Imagine yourself a character in the DC Universe. If you can be any DCU super-villain (or super-villainess for the female readers), who would it be? Lots to choose from: whether its' Lex Luhthor, Scarecrow, Bane, Black Manta, Poison Ivy, Giganta, Gorilla Grodd, Captain Cold, etc. You're welcome to talk about why.

Note that DC Universe does not cover all DC-owned super-hero content (Watchmen and V for Vendetta are examples of non-DCU DC Comics superhero works), in case some of you reading this post are new to the DCU experience.

As for those of you of Canadian residence, Happy Canada Day by the way!
