Don't feel too bad - that's probably the hardest question in the entire quiz.

I am so embarrassed that I got all those questions right...

I mean come on, that's just not something you should include in a quiz...

A marvel and spidey fan and I got 90%. The question I did not get was something I really did not know. Thanks to anyone who did this! My favorite villain? Well, I am all for Scarecrow. J. Crane is one certified whacko. Literally.

I'm not a hardcore Batman fan, though. I've seen every movie, but I only saw Begins once and that was back when it was playing in theaters.

I watched the animated series and didn't know Ra's al Goul was arabic. I thought it was made up.

The one that hung me up was "Who created Batman?" Seriously, how has...that one person...not been in a Batman movie? S/he's one of my favorite villains, third only to The Scarecrow and The Riddler.

Ya got me. Amazing character, and tailor made for movies, you would think.

Don't worry ...that person... will probably make it into a movie if s/he was a good character (I wouldn't know, I've only read 2 Batman comics in my life). Mr. Nolan and his screenwriters know what they are doing when it comes to the caped crusader's movies (like finally putting Catwoman into the series. Last I heard Kate Beckinsdale was in talks for that incredibly coveted role).

Fffff...with all of my Batman knowledge, it took me two tries to get 100%...and all because I'm not good with any language besides English...and sometimes I aren't get even that right.

I blame "Days of Our Lives." Awesome character though, and I really don't see an appearance in the new movies without some serious canon-bending.

It may have something to do with the thick New Jersey accent of Arleen Sorkin (voice actor from the animated series). Harley was essentially written into the canon from that point on.

I'm surprised you didn't go for a cheap trick question like "what is Batman's secret identity?"

In response to some of answers.

I don't know if the translation is very accurate. It's what the author meant but just look at Nightcrawler's attempt at German.

movie villain question
Bane was far removed from his comic counter part so I don't know if that counts.

creator question
Bob Kane ended up admitting some of Bill Finger's contributions later even if it never became official. The first issue was full of plagiarism, swipes and tracings though
