What makes Batman my favourite superhero?

1989. That’s the year when Batman came onto the large screen. It was one of the first movie to captivate me, especially through newspaper adverts. I remember even cutting out one large advert that had the ‘Bat’ logo as shown in the poster below. You see, unlike Superman who posses superhuman abilities and Spiderman who has those scientific mutation, Batman is still human, just with higher mental and physical capacity.

As you all might know, Nintendo’s latest console, the Wii was a winning machine that saw people queuing up to purchase it in many countries worldwide. This is a feat for the 119 year old venerable gaming company who gave the world Super Mario Bros and my first gaming console, the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System). As a casual gamer, I switched to Sony’s Playstation in the mid-90s, from Nintendo’s Super NES, due to great RPG offerings from Square Enix like Musashi, Final Fantasy VII, and other great games like Metal Gear Solid. However, after 2 generations with Playstation, I am … Continue reading Nintendo’s Wii-ning Formula?
