At 5 years old there was one movie that I watched over and over and over - Batman (1989). I wasn't much of a reader throughout my childhood, so movies were my primary form of entertainment. In the early 90s, the animated series came out.

I wasn't much of a fan of the movies or cartoons that followed 1989 and TAS, up until Batman Begins.

Christopher Nolan rekindled my interest in Batman.

I kept hearing about how good the Arkham games were. I couldn't buy into it.

Well, for father's day, my wife gave me a $25 gift card to Gamestop.

So, I grabbed Arkham Asylum and Arkham City.

Since then, I've been scouring the Internet for all Batman-related information. I had purchased The Long Halloween, Dark Knight Returns, Killing Joke, Court of Owls, Hush, Earth One, and Year One a few years back for the Nook with a B&N gift certificate from my wife. Although I've loved reading now for the past 10-15 years, I couldn't get into the graphic medium. I purchased them more out of the idea that I might want to read them some day.

Well! I'm glad I did!

In the last few days I've read Court of Owls. I'm going to start reading one of the others tonight. I'm hooked!

Now, 1/3 through Arkham Asylum, my obsession with Batman has finally been rekindled!
