That's a scary thought. XD
And I actually grew up with the old 90's Batman, but Justice League Animated is what got me into it all again. Again, I have Bruce Timm to thank for that. XD And from then on, I had no chance, the world of comics, capes, and cowls had me.

The funny thing about me is I grew up with Marvel.
My dad was a big X-Men fan, so I grew up with the X-Men. I've read some of my dad's old comics he had in his chest, so I've also seen Death Mate (God I hope that's the right title), Ghost Rider, Cloak and Dagger, and those people.
HOWEVER, my cousin liked Batman and Superman, so I learned a little from him. I mean, who doesn't like Batman? He kicks butt with no super powers! (No offense to anyone who dislikes Batman...that's my opinion) Then Justice League Animated came and that was my cousin's and I's favorite thing to watch together when we were little.

I grew up watching all the WB DC shows, even Batman Beyond, but for some reason the first comics to snatch my attention were the X-Men comics.
Lately though, Marvel has definitely not been my favorite. I've been reading most Vertigo and DC. (yay Transmetropolitan!)
Speaking of 90's... I wish I could read more comics with Superboy's original outfit. I'm a sucker for leather jackets, circle-shapes shades, and 90's hair. <3

I haven't really looked at any of their latest stuff (like their movies...I'm not entirely sure how I feel about X-men 3). I'm stuck on the before my birth (I think a couple were like '92) comics.
I haven't really read any of the comics because (and I don't know why I toruture myself like that) I hate reading in the middle of a plot line. You don't know how it begins and you don't know how it ends! And yet I read my father's comics and tourture myself about what comes next...though sometimes it's fun to make it up.

XD I don't blame you. He wears it well.
I've ALWAYS been a DC girl, but I dabble in Marvel occasionally. I know a lot of the names, but Runaways, X-men, and Daredevil have always been my favorites. I wasn't happy about how they sold to Disney. I don't care what anyone says. Disney's gunna mess them up but good.
I've been meaning to get into the Young Justice Comics myself. XD I read a few and I liked them, but never had the time to pursue it. I plan to use some of their more unique plots, actually. XD
Vertigo I know from Sandman, but that's about it. Damn Dream and his creepy hair. He's awesome though, and Niel is a Mastermind. XD

Oh man, Disney. Don't even get me started. I got out of Marvel after I rewated X-Men: Evolution about three years ago. It made me rage pretty good at how horribly they portrayed Nightcrawler, who is still my favorite X-Man.
You should read the Vertigo story about an AU Creeper. It's set in the 1920's, and it's a noir/mystery. It's -amazing-. Also, if you're politically liberal enough for it, and don't flinch at swears, Transmetropolitan is another great comic series.
I usually don't read ongoing comics. I read finished story arcs, sure, but ongoing ones have always caused me trouble. I even recently got burned by one of the two I'm actually reading, that being Secret Six. Not sure I like where it's headed, and the art's not like it used to be.

Oh, I know. They made a baaaad decision. Where do you think all this stupid stuff on TV is coming from?
Oh! Yes! And Dr. Strange. I love Dr. Strange. XD
And I know how you feel. The author of Sandman is pretty trustworthy though.
I'll definitely have to look into those. :3 And I don't flinch at much. XD

Oh! Yes! Dr. Strange. Him and Dr. Fate should have a crossover one of these days... maybe they've had one before.

I could have SWORN they have, but at the same time, I couldn't place it. XD
They made a decent movie thing for him. Did you see it?

I think I did. A while ago. I'd have to watch it again, though. xD I remember seeing adverts for it all over Comic Con.

I'm always a huge fan of X-Men myself, but the movies aren't as cool as the comics, in my opinion. I'm a big Marvel fan as well as a big DC fan, and tend to get the two confused! D:
Hahahaha who doesn't love 90' hair!? xD

THAT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING! Disney used to be good....when I was like four....but now it's garbage. Poor Walt Disney...the guy's probably rolling in his grave.
That'd be interesting though....Dr. Fate meeting Dr. Strange. That would be very interesting.
