Caped Crusader Turns the Big 75

From the July 24, 2014, Goldsboro (NC) News-Argus "Caped c=Crusader hits big 7-5" by Steve Herring.

"The bat that crashed through the window at stately Wayne Manor 75 years ago did more than provide a brooding Bruce Wayne with his Dark Knight alter-ego-- it inspired generations of children to don towel capes in pursuit of villains.

That Dark Knight was, of course, Batman.

And, they celebrated the 75th anniversary Wednesday at the Heroes Are Here on Berkeley Boulevard in Goldsboro, NC.  They had free refreshments and showed Batman movies and cartoons.  Store owner Bradley Sasser said he had a steady stream of customers all day.

I never read Batman in the comics, but did enjoy that campy, silly 60s TV program and definitely those movies.

Happy Bat-Day Caped Crusader.  --Cooter
