Heh--nope, no killing with the currrent Batman either! (His earliest incarnations were a lot looser about that.) But he does tend to me more violent. There's a lot more focus on him beating up people for info than on being the "World's Greatest Detective."

That's a good question about my posting what appeals to me...I think I've done some posts about some aspects I really like or what's going on. Mostly I'm more in it for Robin.:-) He was just always my favorite and even now my favorite thing about the series is the Batfamily more than Batman himself.

I think my mom was a big Prince Valiant fan. I remember reading it in the Sunday comics as a kid--and I like Sandman a lot.
