Batman - The Caped Crusader, The Dark Knight or Creature of the Night?
Arguably the most popular superhero from "D.C Comics" apart from Superman, Batman is a character whose evolution has been essential in keeping him relevant with the comic book readers. Fans tend to be divided over which version of Batman they prefer: the one that is camp and colourful or the one that is dark and Gothic.
