Very interesting facts, Hope! I didn't even know most of that stuff and I used to be such a comic book nerd.
ReplyDeleteAnd actually, the Frank Miller Dark Knight Returns was one of my favorites because it was so different from the Batman I was used to.
Ermazing! I had no idea. I did a post about Batman not too long ago too - although I feel ashamed now for knowing so little. (http://freyamorris.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/flash-back-friday-is-back.html)
ReplyDeleteI found your blog via Ellie's beta blog and was wondering if you'd be interested in reading my MG book (adventure/fantasy)? I can send you a short synopsis if you're interested! Just give me a shout at freyajmorris @ hotmail.co.uk
Thanks Hope!
