Octopus, the Sandman, the Lizard, the Green Goblin, and Venom.
Batman is a fictional character, a comic book superhero first appeared in
Detective Comics #27 in May 1939 by DC Comics. Batman’s secret identity is Bruce
Wayne, a wealthy industrialist, playboy, and philanthropist. Witnessing the
murder of his parents as a child, Wayne trains himself both physically and
intellectually and dons a bat-themed costume in order to fight crime. Batman
operates in the fictional American Gotham City, assisted by various supporting
characters including his sidekick Robin and his butler Alfred Pennyworth, and
fights an assortment of villains influenced by the characters’ roots in film and
pulp magazines. Unlike most superheroes, he does not possess any superpowers; he

physical prowess, and intimidation in his war on crime.
