BOF’s BAT-POLL | What “Batman Thing” Made You a Bat-Fan?

2090

Batman — the greatest hero in fictional literature in the history of fictional literature — has been around for over 80 years and can be found in many different mediums today.

As we were celebrating BATMAN DAY 2021 this past weekend, I asked folks on Twitter to show how they became a Batman fan by posting a meme/gif/image only.  Check it…

 

Piggybacking off that, below you’ll find a new BOF Bat-Poll asking pretty much the same thing.  I picked the poll choices based on the feedback I got from my Twitter question.  I also included an option of choosing “Other” if none of those provided represented the origin of your Batman fandom.

And please, discuss and be specific in the comments section below — for example, it was Adam West and the 60s TV series that did it for me, but my Mom turned on the TV for me to watch it (and she also bought me my very first Batman comics). – Bill “Jett” Ramey

Bill "Jett" Ramey
Bill “Jett” Ramey isn’t just a Batman fan — he’s one of the founding fathers of the online Batman community. As the creator and Editor-in-Chief of Batman-On-Film.com, the original and longest-running Batman news and commentary site, Jett helped carve the very bedrock of modern fan internet press. A lifelong Dark Knight disciple, Jett has spent decades championing filmmaker‑driven Batman stories, cutting through fanboy noise with a Texas‑sized dose of honesty, and keeping the conversation smart, civil, and drama‑free. He’s the BOF Godfather — the guy who was here before the hashtags, before the clickbait, before the algorithms… and he’s still here, still talking Batman, still calling it straight. When he steps out of Gotham, Jett is pure Texas. He bleeds Dallas Cowboys blue, blasts Elvis and rock ’n’ roll, and has a deep appreciation for cold beer, dive bars, and Texas Longhorns football. He works out, he cooks, and he can grill like a man who’s earned the right to say “don’t assume” when he tells you he lives in the great state of Texas. He shares that home with his wife — “Announcer Rachel” — and their dogs: Gracelin the Labradoodle and Presley, a rescue pup named after the King himself.
