Hmmm....Didn't you watch that half-comedy show "Batman" every day at 6 on Star World? Not that it was worth watching. But still, it was hard to miss. There weren't many channels then and 6 PM is prime-time for school-kids.

We did not have 'Star TV' (as it was called then) at home. I used to watch Vikram Baital shows, duck tales etc. The usual DD fare :-). I remember Spiderman was aired on DD, but I am not sure if Batman was.

Comic-books can be really good. But most are crap.

I like Batman because of the villains. I have "The Dark Knight Returns" series (by Frank Miller, the same person who did "Sin City"), but I think that you have to already know the villains to enjoy that comic-book or "graphic novel" as they prefer to call it.

P.S: It was "Star Plus" then, not "Star World". Unnecessary info? :)

One reason I never picked up any batman comics when I was a kid was because the comics (of the few that I actually did) were all dark and not pretty :-|

But who'll buy comics for me now? I couldn't even be cute and con people into buying me some when I was a kid, let alone now.

Go to the Comic Books section of the Supermarket and shop-lift. What are the odds that they'd suspect a well-dressed adult stealing comic-books? Work against the odds and you aren't likely to be caught :)
If caught, the last resport I guess would be acting cute and conning security into letting you go :)
