This one’s highly influenced by my son’s recent obsession with superheroes. He discovered Batman a few months ago and it was a life altering experience to say the least. So, in the interests of being able to communicate with my own flesh & blood I’ve taken it upon myself to learn far way more comic book trivia than one would ever need to know.
