Batman/ Origins

Hello Nerds!

                This is part two to my last post, where I talked about how I got to be such a big Star Trek fan. I thought today I would talk about how I became invested in Batman.

                Like every other nine or ten year old, I liked the idea of Batman, but never really gave him a second thought. Only two years ago did I discover a man who would change my life, not only outside the classroom, but inside as well. His name is Joshua Harris, and we became friends over Batman, when we did, I decided I would learn all that I could, and to my luck I’d just discovered a Youtube gamer under the name of Knightwing. I stumbled upon one of his character walkthroughs for Lego Batman 2 DC Superheroes, a game I was slightly stuck on at one point of the game. What I didn’t realize is how deep Kwing’s knowledge went on Batman. I started learning all that I could from him, and still continue. (Here is link if you want to check his stuff out…which you all should at least one video https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmzwIHGPWtxd3SgNG9qlctg ) And so my love for Batman began on a whole new level. I started watching the movies…. Not my best choice; but then I went to the Animated Series, where I found my favorite voice actor to date: Kevin Conroy. If you’re reading Kevin, you’re awesome, please don’t ever leave voice acting, your fan, Leif………… Then I went onto the Adam West series, classic though humorous. After that I went to Batman Beyond, binge watched Justice League, Justice League: Unlimited, and many others. This was the reason all of third term that I came home, went into my bedroom to watch Netflix with soda and crackers in my bed, well…that and a girl…

Nerdom giveth and nerdom taketh away… who says the Vulcan’s aren’t wrong with concealing emotions…

Anyways (sniffle) back to the blog, what to talk about…

When one looks at his or her origins, one can unlock many secrets, Batman’s is no exception, though I won’t tell you about it, just go read on the internet and you will know what I’m talking about.

You back yet?

Good.

What I like about Batman’s origin is that no one knows who really killed his parents, unless you subscribe to the Nolan Films (and I believe some comic incarnations), where Joe Chill killed his parents, then… yay for you… but for those who don’t you know what I mean, we never really know who killed his parents, which makes the mystery of the bat much cooler in this nerd’s opinion.

Well, I’m tired, and still a bit sick, and it’s late, so I’m going to go to bed soon, have a good week and I hope to be back onto the more normal Tuesday Thursday Saturday schedule next week, untill then good-bye
