The Dark Knight's upcoming expiration from Gotham City may fit make Newsarama's name of the biggest changes to Batman in his 80-plus year history.

I'm not just the Newsarama founder and editor-in-chief, I'm also a lecturer. And that reference is just a little bit aged than the beginning of my Newsarama journey. I founded what would become the comic book news site in 1996, and except for a concise sojourn at Marvel Comics as its merchandising and communications manager in 2003, I've been writing about new comic book titles, creative changes, and occasionally offering my perspective on important industriousness events and developments for the 25 years since. Despite many another changes to Newsarama, my passion for the medium of comic books and the characters makes the hold out draw and quarter-century (it's strange to picture that in writing) time spent doing what I love most.
