Batman, a creation of Bob Kane and Bill Finger, first graced the pages of Detective Comics #27 in 1939. The character’s influence expanded significantly with the debut of the Batman TV series in January 1966, featuring Adam West as the Caped Crusader and Burt Ward as Robin. The series, known for its catchy theme song by Neal Hefti, won a Grammy for Best Instrumental Theme and became a pop culture phenomenon.
Over the decades, Batman has inspired numerous filmmakers, from Christopher Nolan to Zack Snyder, and has made a significant impact both in live-action and animated films. The Batman film franchise has achieved remarkable success, amassing over $6.8 billion globally, positioning it as the 10th highest-grossing film franchise of all time.
