Re: Apart from batman
Great topic! Aside from batman I would have to say:
1. Indiana Jones
2. James Bond
3. Zorro
I like many others but those are the top three.

Re: Apart from batman
I'm amazed to see The Shadow, Doc Savage and The Spirit mentioned in this thread - and here was I thinking I was the only Old Old School fan...
As a kid I couldn't get enough of Clark Savage Jnr, a real noble hero.

Re: Apart from batman
My real faves:
1. Batman
2. Batgirl
3. Black Canary
Other faves:
Superman
Spiderman
Storm
Rogue
Wolverine
Wonder Woman
Indy is Cool but I don't consider him a superhero (then again..this is probably not a superhero question)
So if other than superheros..then I will say Jedis as well (like in Star Wars:p)

Re: Apart from batman
Aside for the the Bat I really dig Green Arrow.
He's another guy with out incredible powers, just determination and lots of practice with a bow. He's far from perfect and unlike Batman doesn't try to overdo it an pretend he hasn't and won't make mistakes. The Mike Grell GA series is the best "realistic" runs of any superhero. He's not fighting super villians and alien menaces just real villians like drug dealers, murderers, and government officials.
Plus he can make a mean bowl of chili and I've just got to respect that!
I also dig the "old school" heroes too. "The power to cloud men's minds" that's just cool, and not too far fetched. Robert Howard's original Conan stories are incredible. I went ot my High School masquerade prom wearing a Green Hornet mask.

Re: Apart from batman
GAH! I forgot about Thee Shadow, Doc Savage, and Zorro...
Those were my favorite pulps way back when... shame they couldn't re-release them for today. I don't have but a few of them now. Of course, with everything needing to be politically correct, those pulps would never survive today... or they would undergo harsh editing. :(

Re: Apart from batman
oh man, Boondock Saints. I LOVE that movie! I've never been more proud of being Irish-Catholic, plus it makes me want to be a vigilante real bad. I can't wait till the sequel comes out.
