I kind of stumbled into comics in a roundabout way. One of the first films my father introduced me to was the 1989 'Batman,' the Tim Burton one.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I wasn't as big a comic book aficionado as some of my friends, but I definitely had some Batman comics.
I always loved Batman, the Michael Keaton 'Batman.' I loved those films, and Superman, but I was never a real comic book geek.
I'd been a fanatic of movies since I was a wee lad, so I got into the films before I got into the comics.
I was into Alan Moore and Frank Miller. I was a teenager when all those books where coming out for the first time - 'Watchmen,' 'V for Vendetta.' It was a great time to get into comics.
I was into comic books as a kid.
I guess my journey with comics began with stuff like Spider-Man and Batman. I started off with mainstream superhero stuff, which I've never abandoned.
I was a big Batman fan when I was a kid.
Every son's first superhero is his father, and it was the same for me. For me, he was Superman and Batman combined.
In truth, I've never been a big superhero fan. I don't mind some of the movies, and a couple of the cartoons were alright - that Batman series from the early nineties where Mark Hamill voiced the Joker is sweetness. But largely, I've not really had much time for superheroes.
One of the first movies I ever saw was 'Batman,' based on the TV series with Adam West and Burt Ward.
