I just clicked on a Batman video with a fancy thumbnail and it was gameplay of the video game "Batman: Arkham City" (2011) that released that past fall. I was on YouTube just looking at the sidebar of recommended videos. I just so happened to stumble on Batman around February of 2012.

But I didn't just want to be a casual reader. My first exposure to superheroes was around 2010 after the second Iron Man film. I didn't start liking Batman from a young age. So I went to cartoons and movies to help show me what type of person I wanted to be and strive to be to this day. Growing up as an only child, I obviously didn't have a lot of people in my life I could talk to.

That is why these characters have lasted for so long. To help us with our tragedies or our insecurities. We are meant to look at these characters for guidance.
