With
the dawn of digital age, web masters, podcast hosts and bloggers have taken to
the frontier of the internet in order to stake a claim with some incredible
independent content. While it’s arguable that a majority of the web has fallen
prey to mediocrity and ignorance at large with sweeping devotions to crude and
poorly produced materials and nonsense, there are diamonds in the rough to be
discovered once it becomes clear that the internet is a blank canvas waiting to
become what you make of it.
And
when it comes to a subject as fascinating and beloved as Batman, there’s no shortage
of incredible and entertaining outlets spanning the depths of the internet.
So
plug in and log on with these 5 incredible Batman related web sources, followed
by a list of 10 more resources:
1:
“Fatman on Batman” - http://smodcast.com/channels/fatman-on-batman/
A
wonderful podcast that’s both parts entertaining and informative, “Fatman on
Batman” is a weekly Smodco show hosted by filmmaker, comic book writer and
hardcore Batman fanatic Kevin Smith. Through his geek cred and contacts, Kevin
brings on a host of guests all on the basis of speaking with those who’ve
either been directly responsible for aiding in the legacy of the character or
have had their lives forever touched by the dark knight detective and, very
often, it’s a combination of both. Ranging from legendary comic book creators
including Neal Adams, Jeph Loeb, Scott Snyder and Jim Lee to Batman media
guests like Paul Dini, Kevin Conroy, Mark Hamill and Adam West, “Fatman on
Batman” is an excellent insight into Batman through the lens, reverence and
humor of a fellow Bat-Fan from the Jersey Burgs.
2:
“Batman News” - http://batman-news.com/
From
casting announcements to comic reviews, “Batman News” is a premiere website for
staying up to date with all things Batman in comics and all subsequent media.
3:
“Legions of Gotham” - http://www.legionsofgotham.org/
Sub-titled
as “The Premiere Batman Resource,” “Legions of Gotham” provides everything from
an online timeline of Batman’s complete history to Message Boards for connecting
to fellow Batman fans and stands as one of the strongest Batman fansites on the
web.
4:
“DC Comics – Batman” - http://www.dccomics.com/characters/batman
The
official DC Comics page devoted to Batman. As good a place to start as any to
get your online Batman fix under the watchful eye of DC’s current custodians.
5:
“Batman-On-Film” - http://www.batman-on-film.com/
Created
by fellow Texan and Batman fan Bill “Jett” Ramey, “Batman-On-Film” was one of
the first fansites devoted to Batman in non-comic media. While the website has
since adopted discussion of the comics (you can find a link to www.Batman-In-Comics.com on the home
page), the page continues to focus on film and television efforts past, present
and future.
