I'm gonna start a new one here, because we have so many new members coming through here.
Old members feel free to introduce yourselves too for those that don't know you!
For those that may not know me yet, my name is Matt, and I run Legions of Gotham. I'm a freelance artist in my late 20s. I'm working on finishing up school currently. I founded LOG in 2003 due to the severe lack of decent Batman websites at the time.
Our site worked closely with Matsuda and Kids WB! with 'The Batman' cartoon and with Mattel when they gained the Batman license. Tons of exclusive interivews, scoops and news bits later....here we are!
Lets hear all about you! A little about you...your interests in Batman, be they film, animation, collecting, comics etc. Favorite characters...what draws you to the character(s). Lets hear it!

hey guys. i'm Joe (jlavaia). i joined LOG during its first year. i was a talent coordinator for some independent wrestling promotions and now i'm a stay at home father and freelance writer for some sites and magazines. i follow Batman in the comics and collect the figures. as some of you know i'm a big continuity nut when it comes to the comics. i love the obscure villains such as Cornelius Stirk, Mr. Zsasz, and all of the Firebugs (as you can see with my avatar). i also really dislike the Batman movies as they cant seem to get things right and continue to say that the movies are based on certain story arcs and they truly are not. i'd like to welcome all new members to the site and look forward to good discussions with everyone. and thanks Matt for keeping this as the number 1 Batman forum and one of my favorite forums.

I may have done this before, but I don't remember so here goes:
My name is Carlos I live in Miami, FL
I have to admit I never read the comics growing up. I am a product of the cartoons from the 70's + 80's. My knowledge of anything Batman/DC is strictly from Super Friends/Super Powers/BTAS/Justice League and whatever nuggets I pick up from the internet and here at LOG. I often wonder if I even belong here at LOG because I never read the comics and I am not a toy collector.
What I feel most comfortable discussing here at LOG is anything in the TV/animation/movie medium. I also enjoy the miscellaneous topics that deal with current events or sports. When choosing my Username, I thought to myself which Batman villain I liked the most. I never really gave it that much thought. I knew I wasn't a fan of Penguin or Mr Freeze, and I figured Joker was very un-original, so I thought about the Batman villains that were in the Super Friends and I decided on Scarecrow. That's when I did some research and found out about his origins. I found him to be the darkest of all of Batman's rogues(given the Joker's early, cartoonish characterizations in the cartoons and the 66 Batman show).
I hope that I, as someone who did/does not read comics am still welcome here, as I love the character as much from the cartoons as I ever could from reading the comics. I appreciate all the help I have gotten from comics readers regarding characters I'm not familair with(especially from JLU)

I'm Justin, or here I'm known as All Star Batman, the Mod for the Comic Book board. A long time Batman fan of all media whose interest was reawaken by Batman Begins almost 3 years ago.
I found LoG at the beginning of 2005 while looking for info on The Batman, but it wasn't until July of that year when I officially joined and became a huge member on the board.

[shadow=green,left,300] Great to get to know everyone a bit more. Well my name is Kat and I love TB Riddler. I discovered LoG after watching the premier of 'Riddled' on May 21, 05. I instantly started searching for Riddler info, it wasn't hard to guess seeing I watched Batman (60's Batman, BTAS, JL and what not), read comics, and how hard is it to guess a guy with a green suit, question mark isignia, and riddles on the brain? I instantly fell in love with TB Riddler, I began to watch it more and met up with Matt on the old WB forums and he let me become a member here. I became so obsessed with Edward I then took the time to send Robert Englund (Riddler's voice) a letter with some merchandise. Not only did I get it signed back and got to get more in touch with him. But I got info from his wife on an upcoming Riddler project, and when I met him he instantly knew who I was. Normally for a man who does Freddy Krueger he is not surprised with merchandise of Freddy people bring in.. I laid my Nightmare pic on the table and as he saw the Riddler one under it he was really shocked seeing he hadn't ever seen the model sheet I brought in. He shook my hand and bumped into me and I told him it was so nice meeting him, he said it was nice to see a young face getting into his other roles as well. So thus my story of being a Riddler Freak.

Hey Guys- I guess I don't have to tell y'all this is the best all inclusive Bat site around. I realy love the work you've done since bringing it back. I've loved the Batman since I used to watch the reruns of the 1966 show at my grandma's house in the 70's. And I'm pretty much into it all with the exception of gaming. Comics, animation, movies, toys, novels. I'm a little ashamed to say I have a fondness for the more bizarre and obscure items for collecting.

Hey guys my name is Matt and I just turned 29 today. I don't remember a time that I didn't like batman. I collect everything that he is in, on, or around. I do remember the first comic that I got. It was Detective #579 with the Crime Doctor and my parents bought it at a gas station when we were on vacation. It is still one of my favorite covers. I have a very supportive wife that lets me buy just about anything (still can't talk her in to the pinball machine) I want. I joined legions the early part of 2004 but never really posted until recently.

Hi guys. First of all great to see a website dedicated to all things Batman. Ive grew up watching batman since i can remember, my earliest memories were from the 60s show which were repeated daily when i was a child. Next came the animated series which is when i really started to enjoy batman. If it werent for the animated series i dont think id have the comics, figures, videos, dvds that i have today, this was the influential batman genre that had me hooked. Since then ive been collecting figures, comics, graphic novels, dvds. Ive always related to batman in the way thats hes very reclusive/hermit like. I find that with myself only i dont live in a cave, yet lol. A bit about me then, i enjoy the outdoors camping, long walks going to the gym. Dislikes...i could go on forever with this one but i wont, however things that stick out would be society, when i say society i dont mean every living human being but most people nowadays just sicken me. Jobs, taxes, people with egos the list goes on but ill stop. Anyway looking forward to browsing around here, take care.

Hi
Of course I'm a Batman fan. I was introduced to Batman when I was a child and saw Batman ('89) on a tape. Ever since then, Batman will always be my favorite superhero. I think that Bruce Timm has told the best Bruce Wayne/Batman in the BTAS and Mask of the Phantasm. Mask of the Phantasm is my favorite Batman movie, ahead of Begins and '89.

Hey everyone,
My name is James Harvey and I'm the co-founder and creator of The World's Finest (http://www.another batman site). I've known Matt for quite awhile and, with luck, I'll be able to make some time to post my thoughts here every once and awhile. Longtime fan of both Batman and Superman, stretching back to when I was just a wee one. It persists to this day (just yesterday, I was giving the "Batman Begins" Gamecube game a spin for kicks) and I don't see it ending anytime soon.
-James

I used the screen name batman because he's the only comic character worth mentioning. His origin has been imitated by nearly ever brooding comic character. He certainly has the best allies and enemies. Batman was and is the coolest comics character in existance. period, and I'll be happy to prove it to any person willing to argue. Batman Out

A might belated, but a re-introduction for myself since it seems the trend. I too am a fan of the Riddler; I was introduced to Batman with some of the older live-action re-runs as a child, and then also grew up watching the Timm-verse. I am also an avid Shadow fan, who happens to be the predecessor of Batman himself! (The Shadow stories also gave rise to a number of Batman's gadgets, and even villains!) I love the small-screen versions of Batman, including The Batman, and I really hope to get more involved with this group again. School spirited me away before I got the chance to really chat it up, so hopefully I'll keep more in touch this time around!
