Batman: The Animated Series was a haven for kids like me, who wanted a modicum of fear in their Saturday morning cartoons. I fell in love with Batman because of Gotham City’s Gothic vibes, which extended to tragic and disfigured villains like Two-Face, The Joker, Man-Bat, and Clayface. So it should come as no surprise that my favorite superheroes were the ones whose books dipped a toe (or sometimes an entire foot) into the dark waters of the horror genre.
My love for comic books has always been tied to my love of horror.įairy tales, superheroes, and horror all formed an easy and informative track for my young mind.
