I Need a Hero!
I am sure you have heard the question, “What would Jesus do?”. I have a book called “What would Buffy do?”(Besides slay vampires) and now I have found the blog, “What would Batman do?” I like super heros, I really do. I think the world could really use a real hero, but until we can find one, we will have to make do with Marvel comics.
I like this blog because the blogger does not limit himself to just one “version” of Batman. The blog contains Batman fan videos made by independent studios, batman art created by batman fans, and we also have reviews and commentary on the major Batman movies.
Oh dear, reading the blog I find I may have made a major faux paux. Batman is not a Marvel comic! Sorry, my bad. I learned this in the post Art Appreciation Day: Batman vs . This post is great in that it has artwork by different artists showing Batman fighting various Marvel comic characters.
The blog is not all Batman, occasionally the blogger brings in other characters. In Chun-Li vs Wolverine our Bat fan asks us:
if either Chun-Li, the Street Fighter goddess, or Wolverine, the ragin’ Canuck, crossed the space-time continuum (a la Darth Vader and Yoda in Soul Calibur IV ) and were forced to fight each other to the death in an epic battle with music composed by John Williams, who would come out on top?
I like the blog’s layout and color scheme. It is black and dark, like you would expect a Batman fan blog to be, but the text area is white and so it is easy to read. There are lots of vidoes and pictures, but the blog loaded fast for me. One thing I don’t like about the blog is that the text is tiny. Even the post titles look to be about a 10 point font at best.
Overall this is an entertaining blog. I am not a huge Batman fan, but I do like my occasional comic book hero.You know, the one that kills the bad guy (honorably), gets the girl, and saves the world all while overcoming an ethical or emotional challenge. If I spend much more time reading this blog I might become a real fan! Now I am off to vote for Chun-Li. I think she is way more cool than Wolverine, especially with the John Williams music playing!
Ha, this is great. Thank you so much for the review. I can almost forgive you for mistaking The Man as a Marvel character.
Hey Alex I took a look at your blog. But it is not in English so I can’t review it!
