Batman & superman Costumes

Batman is one of the most popular crimefighters of all-time. He has been in comics for over 60 years now and still is as popular as ever .Batman was co-created by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger  Finger wrote the first Batman story and Kane provided the art. Because Kane had already submitted the proposal for a Batman character to his editors at DC Comics, Kane was the only person given official credit at the time for the creation of Batman, and is still the sole creator listed to this day He also appeared in movies, TV shows, and lots and lots  of merchandise..

Batman first appeared in 1940 in detective comics plot of Batman is that he is a rich socialite named Bruce Wayne, who as a young child watched his parents be murdered by a mugger, he grew up and vowed to stop these kinds of people.

Quite probably the most popular Batman TV show, was a live-action satire television show featuring Batman made in 1966  it starred actor Adam West as Batman and Burt Ward as Robin.

One of the most persistent and striking images in the Batman legend is the Bat-Signal. When Batman is needed, the Gotham City police activate a searchlight with a bat-shaped insignia over the lens that shines into the night sky, creating a bat-symbol on a passing cloud which can be seen from any point in Gotham city. The idea of a bat Signal has penetrated deeply into pop culture, and can be seen in hundreds of different places. In the 1960s Batman TV show, Commissioner Gordon also has a phone line which connects directly to the Batcave.

The batcave is Batman's secret headquarters, consisting of a series of subterranean caves beneath Wayne manor,  It serves as his command centre for both local and global surveillance, as well as housing his vehicles and equipment for the war on crime.

The first Batman story, "The Case of the Chemical Syndicate," appeared in Detective Comics #27, cover-dated May 1939. Finger wrote the first Batman strip and Kane provided the art. Finger said, "Batman was originally written in the style of the pulps" and this influence was evident with Batman showing little remorse over killing or maiming criminals and was not above using firearms. Batman was a breakout hit, with sales of Comics soaring to the point that the character was given his own title in 1940.Over the course of the first few Batman strips elements were added to the character and Kane's artistic depiction of Batman evolved. Kane noted within six issues he drew the character's jaw more pronounced and lengthened the ears on the costume; "About a year later he was almost the full figure, my mature Batman," Kane said Batman's characteristic utility belt was introduced in Detective Comics #29, followed by the batarang and the first bat-themed vehicle in issue 31, and the character's origin was revealed in issue 33. The early pulp-influenced portrayal of Batman started to soften in Detective Comics #38 in 1940 with the introduction of Robin, Batman's kid sidekick Robin,  was introduced based on Finger's suggestion to Kane that Batman needed a "Watson" that would give Batman someone to talk to. The first issue of Batman was notable not only for introducing two of Batman's most persistent antagonists, the Joker and Catwoman, but for one of the stories in the issue where Batman shoots some monstrous giants to death, which prompted editor Whitney Ellsworth's decree that the character could no longer kill or use a gun.

By 1964 sales on Batman titles had fallen drastically; Bob Kane noted that as a result "[DC] were planning to kill Batman off altogether." Editor Julius Schwartz was soon assigned to the Batman titles and presided over drastic changes. Beginning with 1964's Detective Comics #327 Schwartz introduced changes designed to make Batman more contemporary and return him to more detective stories, including a redesign of Batman's equipment, the Batmobile, and his costume (introducing the yellow ellipse behind the costume's bat-insignia), and brought in artist Carmine Infantino to help in this makeover. The space aliens and characters of the 1950s such as Batwoman, Ace, and Bat-Mite were retired. Batman's erstwhile butler Alfred Pennyworth was even killed off and replaced with Aunt Harriet, who came to live with Bruce and Dick The debut of the Batman TV series in 1966 had a profound influence on the character. In addition to initiating the return of Alfred and the introduction of Batgirl, the show's campy nature found its way into the comics. Although both the comics and TV show were successful for a while,the show was cancelled in 1968.
