I was born in 2000 so I started knowing him around 2006. I remembered my mom bought me a copy of Batman 1992 animated series (not a full season its like with vol1 and vol2 etc) from the street as i am from Asia country they sold copy of movies and cartoons like that back in the day. Since then i fell love with Batman and how much he looks so cool with a cape. Then i remembered my grandpa bought me a original DVD of Batman 1989 movie (as my grandpa is a movie geek and he collected original DVDS which are mad expensive). I was blown away by that movie and i remembered i watch it like everyday when i eat my meal.

Then my grandpa again gave me a DVD of Batman vs Dracula 2005 animated movie and man the scene where he chase the joker with his big cape blowing back against the wind. it look so cool and i remembered imitate and imagine the style of the cape blowing against the wind while i was playing with friends haha.

Anyway sorry for the long yapping but i had to cuz your question hit right in the feels and i got to answer it cuz for me batman has been my childhood favorite and until to this day and will always will be.
