I've always loved Batman. I used to have a Batman suit when I was a kid, and I would never take it off. I even wore this thing to the grocery store. I would also call the fake abs "aabs," much to the amusement of my parents. I didn't really keep up with Batman after that, but I always thought he was cool. My freshman year of high school, I read The Dark Knight Returns, and I was sold. I loved how dark and adult it was, in contrast to the more kid friendly Batman I'd seen previously.  Since then, I've basically been obsessed, and my Batman collection has grown, and includes a kite and a pinata, among other things. Needless to say, I will keep acquiring Batman-related paraphernalia.
