Is Bill Gates The Real Batman



Is Batman's true identity Bill Gates? Just think about it; multimillionaire, love high-tech gadgets, is considered brilliant, an environmentalist, has a butler, and is a philanthropist. Who else could possibly fit Bruce Wayne's description better then Bill Gates. And if you look more closely, you will see that Gates has the Batman chin. All he would need is the cowl.
He is an innovative visionary who symbolizes the software computer industry. Like Bruce Wayne, Gates went to an Ivy League college, Harvard. With his sidekick Paul Allen, the dynamic duo, founded Microsoft.
In attempting to explain his tremendous success, industry experts have pointed out that there are really two Bill Gates. I honestly think that there is something to this. I'm sure the fact will bear me out when the rest of the world figures out the true identity of Batman!

Could Doctor Destiny Be A Good Batman Villain For A Movie


Here is a Batman villain that we all sort have forgotten about, Doctor Destiny. He created this mind boggling dream world consisting of combinations of people from the real world, hoping to replace the waking world with his fabricated realm. Superman and Batman, who had somehow managed to escape being fused together, stopped Destiny by freeing the combined form of Raven and Zatanna. The backlash from the broken illusion put Destiny into a comatose state, mumbling the name "Bruce Kent". Of note, however, he appears again capable of massive reality warping without direct control of the Materioptikon in the waking world, or at least enough magical power to fuel the creation of a new world using only dreams as his base.

I think that Doctor Destiny is worth mentioning because of his stint at the Arkham Asylum which is just located at the outskirts of Gotham City. I actually feel that this guy could be a great character for yet another Batman movie. Could you imagine a Batman movie with sort of a Matrix twist to it? Traveling back and forth between the real world and that of the dark recesses of his own mind as it is being manipulated by Doctor Destiny. Bruce Wayne having to use his superior intelligence to escape the grip of Destiny plus escaping the wall of Arkham Asylum. What a real mind bender this movie plot could be!

Please take the time to let your thoughts on this. I would love to read your comments!

Adam West + Bruce Wayne = BATMAN


Adam West is a true American icon. From his humble beginning on a wheat ranch in Walla Walla, Washington, Adam skyrocketed to fame in Hollywood, pursuing an extraordinary career in entertainment that has spanned half a century. His role as Batman in the classic television series and feature of the same name continues to be seen throughout the world more than 40 years after its debut. While Batman, and his alter ego, Bruce Wayne, remains his signature role, Adam has a multitude of motion picture, theater, and TV credits to his name.

As a kid, I use to love all those Batman balloons that showed up when he was fighting like: Bamm!, Pow!, Blamo!, Thud! and Kazoink!

If you have any Batman memories that you want to share, please leave a comment. I would love to hear from you!

The Scarecrow



The Scarecrow - Though Jonathan Crane is little more than a stick thin scarecrow running around Gotham City spreading fear to everyone he comes in contact with, he is still among the better Batman villains of all time. The reason? The Scarecrow actually has the power to break through the tough facade of the Batman and reduce him to a fearful mess. The Scarecrow has always been a nemesis that the Batman hates to face, and the fans of the comic love to see.

Dr. Jonathan Crane AKA Scarecrow originally worked at Arkham Asylum (in many renditions of his backstory) experimenting with fear on patients and soon adopted the alias Scarecrow after what his victims began to have nightmares of. What made The Scarecrow a regular Batman villain was his appearances in the ’90s Batman cartoons and Batman Begins.

The Scarecrow is also one of the only people to make Batman feel fear again, thanks to his Fear Gas (patent pending) that induces nightmares. This full blown maniac made his former bully and tormentor crash his car on prom night, paralysing him and killing his lover. Even worse now, The Scarecrow can also transform into the Scarebeast, a giant spiky demon like monster created by The Penguin to kill off disloyal colleagues. In this state he is capable of doing more damage, as well as unleashing even more powerful Fear Gas.

Cluemaster



Real Name: Arthur Brown

Class: Human technology-user

Occupation: Professional criminal, formerly gameshow host

Group Affiliation: formerly Injustice League II, Suicide Squad

Known Relatives: Agnes Brown (wife), Stephanie Brown (daughter), unnamed grandchild

Aliases: None

Base of Operations: Gotham City

First Appearance: Detective Comics #351(May, 1966)

Powers: Cluemaster has a number of plasti-glass pellets attached to the front of his costume that he can hurl as weapons. These pellets variously contain a blinding incendiary flare, smoke bombs, paralyzing gas and high explosives. The Cluemaster is a competent detective and schemer.

Arthur Brown was once the host of a popular daytime game show, but his career came to an end when his show was pre-empted by old cartoon reruns. He blamed people with trivial minds for his failure and entered a new criminal career as the Cluemaster.

Cluemaster's first public appearance was in Gotham City, committing a series of crimes to attract the attention of the Batman. The Cluemaster's plan was to distract Batman while his hired thugs sought clues to Batman's true identity. Cluemaster reasoned that striking at Batman as a civilian would be more successful than fighting him on his own turf. Batman quickly caught on to Cluemaster's plot, and used a series of red herrings to catch the evildoer.

Something Interesting - Lifesize Lego Batman





Now everybody knows that I am a Batman fan, but I still don't think I could create this life size figure of Batman. I wonder how thick is the manual is? At any rate, I thought that this was cool enough to add to this site.

This was made for the grand opening of the Lego Store at the King of Prussia Mall near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. http://www.kingofprussiamall.com/
