Batman
The original Batman character had an alter ego, Bruce Wayne who was millionaire, playboy, industrialist and philanthropist. He may have decided to be Batman becausehis parents were shot and murdered infront of him. He has a bat cave underneath his mansion where he creates his costume etc. He is 'Batman' because he has a fear of bats from when he fell down the bat cave when he was younger. So he took his fear to scare other people.
Some of Batman's enemies are; The Joker, Penguin, Poison Ivy, Mr Freeze and (sort of) Catwoman.
DC created the Batman comics. The comic books were dark and mysterious but when Adam West re-created the character he made the character and the story a lot more funny and camp to a wider audience.In the comic strips when there was a fight scene the artist would use words like 'pow' to show the sound effects, this was carried on in Adam West's TV programme.
The costumes are very similar in the comics, TV programmes and films. The TV programme's had Batman in grey fabric with 'underwear' over the top, whereas the films adapted to that to make him seem darker. The films have made the costumes a lot more darker and, obviously, the special effects are a lot more effective. The films make the whole story and characters a lot more dark, this clip is from The Dark Knight:
Kick Ass copys a lot of Batman with the costumes, Hit Girl and Big Daddy's costumes are very simelar to batmans costume, from the comic, TV and film.
