Rest in peace to the man behind Batman 🦇
Bob Kane passed away 28 years ago today at the age of 83. 🥹💔
Rest in Peace, Bob Kane. 🕊️
Born Robert Kahn on October 24, 1915, in New York City, Kane helped introduce one of the most iconic superheroes in history. In 1939, he worked with writer Bill Finger to develop Batman, whose debut in Detective Comics #27 launched a legacy that would transform comic books, television, animation, and cinema.

Kane’s work helped Batman become a global cultural icon. Over the decades, the Dark Knight’s adventures inspired generations of fans through comic books, animated series, television shows, and blockbuster films.
However, Batman’s creation was a collaborative effort. Bill Finger made major contributions to the character’s design, identity, origin story, and early adventures. Although Finger went uncredited for many years, DC Comics eventually recognized him as Batman’s co-creator.

@razhomonx Yoruichi comes from an extremely wealthy noble family, has a mischievous streak a mile wide, and, at times, questionable common sense.
Kazui wants a toy boat for his birthday.
Cute, right?
Auntie Yoruichi drags everyone to the docks to see the 150+ meter yacht she bought him.
I always love it so very much whenever cartoon creators take pictures of themselves right next to the iconic characters they created, has gotta be one of the absolute coolest and my all time favorite genres of internet images ever!
Former 'DRAGON BALL' editor Kazuhiko Torishima expresses sorrow over the demolition of Bird Studio, reflecting on Akira Toriyama:
"The place I visited once a month...
The place where so many characters and works were born is disappearing.
So he's really gone..."
Did you know? Every single factor responsible for Masaki Kurosaki’s death was systematically eliminated by three generations of her family:
Husband (Isshin): killed Grand Fisher, settling the score with the Hollow that physically killed her.
Son (Ichigo): Defeated and killed Yhwach, avenging her by striking down the architect of the Auswählen, which stole her Blut Vene when she needed it most
Grandson (Kazui): Effortlessly destroyed the final lingering trace of Yhwach’s Reiatsu ten years later
Talk about absolute generational vengeance.
