What’s up, Internet? Since the year is coming to an end,
I’ve decided to try something a bit different for December. Back in September,
I did something different for Superman Month. Instead of just looking at
Superman, I looked at the different analogues/homages/ripoffs that were based
off of Superman’s world and status. I had fun with it and wondered what other character
I could do this with. Suddenly, a Bat Signal went off in my head and I started
to look for the many characters that are analogues to Batman.
A bit over-exaggerated in my research. I also think this gif perfectly works when you see something messed up on the Internet.
I had the inverse for what I had with Superman. It got
harder when I got to looking. It was pretty easy with Superman. If the guy
could fly, have a cape, and stand for Truth and Justice, he fit the role. With
Batman, it was a little different. They are out there, but they aren’t as easy
to find. Ultimately, I decided to include characters that may not be direct
analogues but have enough similarities to Batman. I also have a couple of
surprises toward the end. Who are they? Only The Shad… uh, I mean, only I know!
Since I want to look at different characters across the
medium, I won’t be including a lot of Batman’s supporting cast here. While they
are the first to look at when looking for characters like Batman, I want to
look at other characters this time. I may look at one story that features ones
like Nightwing, Robin, and others but I’m not sure yet. So, stay tuned. Peace, God
Bless, and be careful out there.
