“I’m Batman” is probably one of the most famous lines associated with comic book superheroes. And this guy really is the Batman, a character whose lore and background are so awesome that he rightfully beat every other character on this list to be the best DC Comics character of all time. We could write a whole essay on just how and why Batman is that awesome, but we assume that you know most of the stuff by now. Batman is, himself, truly great and unique in a lot of ways, certainly very different from other mainstream superheroes. During the 1980s, it was him – through his stories – that redefined superhero comics and started the Modern Age. His lore is absolutely brilliant and he probably has the best rogues gallery of all comic book heroes. Still, what really makes Batman so special is the psychology behind the character and the issues tackled by the authors. Batman offers a lot, both for authors and readers, there is a lot to analyze and explore, probably more than with any other superhero. These are all reasons why Batman is better than other characters and why we have put him on top of our list.
Welcome to discuss the world of these superheroes!
