10 Greatest DC Superheroes Of All Time

The Caped Crusader. The World's Greatest Detective. The Dark Knight. Batman has been tearing up the pages of DC Comics for almost 80 years. In that time, he has gone from a vigilante with a code to a pop-culture icon.

When a young Bruce Wayne witnessed his parents' murder, he devoted his life to cleaning up the streets of Gotham and protecting those in need. He chose to do all this as a symbol that terrified him - a bat - inspiring that same fear into the hearts of the city's criminals. However, in doing so, he turned that symbol of fear into a symbol of hope.

With his unique look and unrivalled arsenal of gadgets, The Dark Knight has stood the test of time and continues to amaze fans each and every year. In a universe full of super-powered aliens and metahumans, Batman stood out as a mortal man who relied on his wits, knowledge and instincts to see him through - and they always did. He has taken on threats from beings far more powerful than him and he always overcomes even the most insurmountable of odds... because he's Batman.

Without a doubt, the most recognisable superhero of all time, Batman has created a legacy for himself like no other. With countless film, TV and video game adaptations to his name, he has transcended his genre to become a larger-than-life phenomenon.
