I want to make another 'batman facts' blog, but what should i blog about?
The characters? (batman/robin/joker/ect)
The places (Arkham, batcave, gotham)
The unique objects (Batmobile, baterang, two face coin, ect)
Or the tv shows (Adam West, Animated series, New batman adventures)
Surprisingly, one of the 1st recurring batman villains is Hugo Strange, apsychologist who uses science as a weapon. He's pretty much a bald man with glasses. This seems to be a major inspiration for the mad scientiststereotypes.
Hugo Strange appeared inFebruary1940, shortly before the introduction of Joker and Catwoman, who appeared together in the same comic in Spring 1940 (this is why you never ask Cwoman her age). In this long amount of time, Catwoman had over 9 different outfits in the comics and over 5 other outfits in other forms of media while Joker barely changed.
Speaking of Joker, one of the most recent batman villains is Harley Quinn. Harley wasn't a comic creation, she was inBatman: The Animated Series, in Joker's Favor (September 11, 1992), where she was an ordinary henchman, but fans loved it. She was introduced to the official batman comics in 1999.
It is rare for tv show villains to be in the main comics. Batman villain Lock-Up (tv episode 'Lock Up' November 1994) was popular due to his extremely bipolar anger and just being scary. He appeared in 1996 in a Robin comic. Then there's Livewire (September 13, 1997), eventually made it to the comics in March 2006.
Then, there's Bane, a south american scientist who ran away to america to avoid prison time. He invented a steroid/poison that gives him super human strength. In his 1st appearance (january 1993), he fights batman and breaks batman's back, making batman paraplegic. Because of that, Batman is temporarily replaced by antihero Azrael. Don't worry, Batman affords medical attention that gave his fighting skills back.

see if you can name all of the actors or tv shows from discovery.
In the late 1940s, batman was introduced to one of his most crazy but bland enemies, MAD HATTER.
Wait? The crazy guy from Alice in Wonderland? Technically, Batman's Madhatter is Jervis Tetch, a scientist obsessed with Lewis Carroll, the creator of Alice in Wonderland.
Some versions of Mad Hatter has him fall inlove with a woman… named Alice… yeah…
So what makes him a threat? Besides a large hat, Mad hatter has mind control devices… but that's pretty much it…
Despite being over 70 years old, only the biggest batman fans know who he is, but he has made many appearances in tv shows. He's also in Lego Batman.
He has genius level IQ, but has 4 major mental conditions. Major immaturity, Delusional disorder, Obsessive–compulsive disorder and Schizophrenia.
However, Mad hatter is hated by fans due to not being a big threat and not being an original idea.

_What I Like_
Apache Knives
What's better than to have 20 projectiles that you can toss atunarmedfoes?
Japanese Kanabo
Coolest club i ever seen
Japanese Naginata
It can slice through bone with such grace and ease
Spartan Sheild
Blocking is one thing, breaking necks is another. Ultimate shield
Pirate Blunderbuss
The weapon that made Knightsobsolete
Mafia Tommy Gun
It's a tommy gun... don't need to say anything else
Wooden Baseball Bat
BONK! so deadly and yet so legal
Hotel Water Boiler (from mafia yakuza fight)
brutal fatality
American ETool
A shovel can cut a skull in half? I want one
Ballistic Knife
cool spy weapon. uber backstab
ShaolinTwin Hooks
Ultimate multipurpose weapon
RPG
It's a long ranged grenade, do i need to explain it? Just be careful who you aim it at
_What I Hate_
Sling and Slingshot
It's hard to tell which one is worse. Slingshot is less lethal while the sling is inaccurate. Why did the IRA have a sling? Get a pistol!
Nunchaku
Surprisingly disappointing
Molotov Cocktail
'let me fire this weapon... give me a sec...' 'IT'S A BOMB! (shots mafia guy)'

it's a good exercise game, but it's hard to know your opponent's weaknesses (like 1 hit ko spots) without looking it up.
