If you happened to read my about section, you'd know that I am... very into Batman. Maybe it wasn't so clear as I mentioned it in passing, but I really do like Batman! So, I've thought to display the comics I own and have read so far. For every online version I can find online, I'll link it along with the one on the list! I hate being gatekeep-y about comics, DC is confusing, so I'd like to keep it accessable.
