My obsession with Batman has recently been rekindled!
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!

That is so awesome. I grew up loving the animated series, and loving Batman Forever. But I was never into comics (or reading in general) But once I saw The Dark Knight, I had to get into Batman more. So I have since started reading graphic novels and comics, and of course playing the Arkham games. I wish I could play those games for the first time again. You are in for a treat, especially Arkham Knight, which I personally think is the best one of the series.
