Thank You for taking our Quiz!

1. Sean Young of No Way Out fame. She broke her collarbone while filming a horse-riding scene that was eventually cut from the final film.


2. The correct answer is D. Trick question! It’s true that Billy Dee Williams did play Harvey Dent in the Batman film starring Michael Keaton which kicked off a series of sequels. But that wasn’t the first Batman film! That would be the 1966 movie made to capitalize on the popularity of the Adam West TV show -- and the villains in that movie were the Joker, the Riddler, Catwoman and the Penguin. Two-Face wasn’t even mentioned. Technically, perhaps, the first Batman film was the 1949 serial which was later re-edited into a full-length feature — interestingly, that series introduced both the Batcave and the now-familiar look of Alfred Pennyworth, Batman’s butler.


3. Thomas and Martha Wayne


4. The correct answer is C. Most superheroes are aliens (Superman), mutants (the X-Men), or people who have acquired freakish, near-supernatural abilities (Spider-Man, The Flash). But Batman is nearly unique in that his success in fighting crime comes entirely from his obsessive drive, his years of training, his detective skill and his massive, inherited fortune. As such, he’s an inspiration to us common folk, because in theory, any of us could become Batman, as long as we were crazy, rich, combat-trained geniuses with permanent chips on our shoulders.


5. The killer's identity is unknown.


6. The correct answer is C. "Chemical Syndicate," by Bob Kane and Bill Finger, was a six-page story in Detective Comics #27, published in May 1939.


7. Selina Kyle


8. The correct answer is D. The fictional town of Arkham, Massachusetts was a setting in a number of Lovecraft stories, including "Herbert West — Re-Animator" and "The Dunwich Horror."


9. Oswald Cobblepot


10. The correct answer is A. Despite his status as a world-spanning supervillain, Ra’s approves of the romance between Talia and Bruce Wayne, and has stated several times that he would like to see Batman marry his daughter and take over his empire.


11. The Flying Graysons


12. The correct answer is C. All the other names mentioned are also part of Batman’s infamous Rogue’s Gallery.


13. It was Governor of Minnesota Jesse Ventura going up against Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger who played Mr. Freeze.


14. The correct answer is D. Jean Paul Valley, also known as the vigilante Azrael, briefly took over the position of Batman when Bruce Wayne’s back was broken by the villain Bane. And decades into the future, according to the "Batman Beyond" TV series, the aging and wheelchair-bound Wayne handed over the reins to McGinnis.


15. Bane. After his recovery, Batman fought Bane again, but this time knew his weakness and defeated him.


16. The correct answer is B. The choice of movie was a deliberate homage on the part of Batman creator Bob Kane, who wanted to acknowledge the influence of the character of Zorro on his own development of Batman. ("Batman Begins," by the way, alters this part of the story a little bit.)


17. Tim Burton


18. The correct answer is A. The Legion’s roster included Superman villains Lex Luthor, Bizarro and Brainiac; Flash nemeses Captain Cold and Gorilla Grodd; and Batman foes Riddler and Scarecrow.


19. That would be (the Jedi knight Luke Skywalker) Mark Hamill. Hamill also does voices in other cartoons including Cow and Chicken, Pepper Ann, Spider-Man, Scooby-Doo and Teamo Supremo.

27. The correct answer is D. Gotham is filled with structures and geographic landmarks named for writers and artist who have worked on Batman comics, of whom Bob Kane, Frank Miller and Jim Aparo are among the most notable. Kane created Batman; Aparo worked on Batman stories for DC from the 1970s to the 1990s; and Miller is most well-known for his gritty revisionist take on the character, "The Dark Knight Returns."
