The Evolution of the Batman Logo

March 24, 2009

PauloGabriel's blog

This video came to me in the right moment. I've always wondered how come the Batman logo changed so much, different from other superheroes, such as the Superman. Each story line, each media, has its own Batman logo.

And it was cool to find out that someone out there had the same doubt about it, and decided to look for an answered, coming up with this awesome video, showing us what we could call an "evolution" of the Batman logo. Check it out, and I bet you'll really enjoy this if you're a fan of the greatest detective of all time. Cheers! ;)

Ah! And Paulo, the Superman's logo also have a lot of different designs... including a communist one.

Google it! It would be interesting to see this evolution ;)

Raph got it right! BB and DK have the same logo.

Marcio, eu sei que tem o logo comunista do Superman, mas não é um oficial... é uma história à parte... né não?

Funny how you never hear that U2 song anymore. Fantastic video! I can't believe the Batman logo has gone through that many variations. It's certainly flexible and open to different augmentations.

Cute!

Paulo, é sim. Mas tem alguns nesses do Batman que também entram na categoria "alternativa". =)

Aliás, o John Byrne faz um comentário bacana sobre o logo do Super: que ele não consegue ver o 'S', mas sempre imagina o logo pelos espaços vazios. O logo dele é ligeiramente diferente por causa disso. ;)
