How'd You Become A Superhero Lover

Mainly by watching Batman: The Animated Series/Batman Beyond and Teen Titans when I was younger.

I'd probably say the Power Rangers when I was really young, I was obsessed with them.

Actual comic style superheroes would be the Spider-Man cartoon from the 90s.

This, but i watched SM and his amazing friends

I'm ashamed to say this but... the Adam West Batman series. My grandma had taped the whole series, and I watched it for hours on end while she was "babysitting" me. A few years later, Batman: TAS hooked me even deeper. As I got older, I looked deeper into the world of superheroes and became borderline obsessed... and here I am.

Watching the late 90's and early 2000's superhero shows, like Justice League/Justice League : Unlimited.

From there I got sucked into the comic world.

I went on a date with Black Canary, we hit it off well, she took me back to her place, and BOOM, I was a superhero lover.

Cartoons and my brother actually owning comics.

Beat me to that.

My dad drew a picture of Superman flying in the sky when I was 2. Good picture too. The rest is history.

A kid in my class liked comic books and I learned a thing or two. A few weeks later I got issue 599 of the Amazing Spiderman in the mail.

I watched animated shows and was a fan, but I became truly interested after watching Batman Begins in 2005... so about 7 years ago. I was 13 when I watched it, and became interested in comics... time has gone so quickly!

Started all with the Spider-man 60's cartoon and the X-Men 90's Cartoon, then it kept on with the live action stuff that appeared (movies, shows) until I was old enough to dive on my own in the world of comics.

Ditto.

Same, my dad was/is a comic reader, but it wasn't until the cartoon that I took a major interest myself.

@Girth: It was the 90's X-men cartoon that started it all for me.

Same here. I fell in love with that series and Batman:TAS in the early 90's. It wasn't too long until I started buying comics after that.

agreed

How did I become a superheroes' lover?

Well, I'm just extremely sexy, so a lot of very powerful heroes have forced themselves upon me. It's a burden, but I can't say I didn't enjoy it. Oh yeah! (Kool-Aid Man voice)

The Superman/Batman scene you shared is one of the best superhero fight scenes put to film.

Saw the Matrix and I was like "Daayyum!".

the justice league show made me want to read my sister's marvel comic books, which she later threw away.

(screams) The horror! I hate to hear comic books going to waste.

You can tell most of our ages by what got us into superheros, mostly 90s and early 00s, so mid 20s and late teens lol.

Superman The Movie. I saw it on VHS and the moment he soared into the sky to catch Lois Lane was perfect especially with John Williams score thumping in the backgroud.

@PsychoKnights: Well Neo is a hero from a point. It made me look into it more. I started debating without knowing actual feats, getting owned. Started looking up scans on superhero's was impressed. BOOM here I am. All because Neo flew at super speeds.

Ah. Interesting.

A mixture of things, one being the song Superman by Black Lace. Embarrassing I know but the last part with Superman really captured my interest in the character. Also Disney's Hercules shared a lot of similarities with Superman and I guess I transitioned that onto Superman in later years. And obviously the Superman: The Animated series, Batman: The Animated Series, the 1990s Spider-Man cartoon and Batman Beyond. That's what got me interested in superheroes. I didn't pick up comics every month though until 2007.

Batman: The Animated Series like a lot of other people

My dad lent me his comics when I was younger so I've been reading comic books since I have memory. I started buying my own comics when Cataclysm and No Man's Land came around

:| I'm jealous. My entire family either doesn't really care about, or hates, comic books, and they don't love the fact that I'm so interested in them and that I talk about them somewhat often.

Anyway. When I got into superheroes is hard to say... Probably it was actually just from playing videogames and coming to love fictional, powerful good guys as a whole. My first action figure of a superhero specifically though, I think was a Batman figure with the Batglider. I liked the Spiderman movies too as a kid, now I think they suck though hah; what got me into comic books was actually a few things, first the teen titans anime (which made me wanna get Teen Titans New 52 issue 1, though it disappointed me because I didn't recognize the characters), then free comic book day and all the epic movies that kept coming out like The Dark Knight and Iron Man and so on.

Watched Batman TAS and Spider man growing up but never really bought any comics. Over a year ago, I was travelling for work and wanted something to read in the hotels so on a whim I purchased the 1st Captain America omnibus by Brubaker. Now I'm hooked a couple thousand stories later.
