For me for 27 years since i was 4 watching SuperFriends on syndicated TV and Super Powers Galactic Guardians on ABC as i became a fan of DC comics since including Batman as i collected comics from DC too including mature readers titles like Swamp Thing.  I even saw the movies on the screen, watched the 60's show in reruns when i was 8, watched TAS religiously since i was 11 as i would tape every episode, had merchandise as a kid and all that.



I was born in 1988 and by a year later my dad had introduced me to the Batman tv show he watched as a kid and bought me the Toy Biz 1989 stab at Michael Keaton's Batman (with the retractable bat rope attached to the belt). Also the Toy Biz movie Batmobile (with shield), the Batwing, Batcave, Joker and Bob the Goon. Incredible to think Batman has been in my life since pretty much the moment of my existence. And I have no doubt it'll be there at my end too lol

Pretty much my entire life. I'm only eighteen and I've loved Batman as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is seeing Batman & Robin in cinemas.
Even the greatest masterpiece has its flaws.

Since I was 2, in 1989.

Started on the FOX reruns of the 60s show, then. And the Burton film cemented my fandom forevermore.

Well I remember having a Batman cake for either my 4th or 5th birthday (I know I had Batman and Superman cakes in a row, but don't remember the order. So damn like 25 or 26 years! I remember it all being due to the Superfriends, then B'89, then the 60's show. By the time the Bruce Timm series had come out I was already reading the comics.

23 is the magic number in this thread. I too have been a Bat fan for about that number, I'd say. B89, BR and the animated series was, and is, a good diet to kick things off.

 I received the Super Powers Batman figure for my fourth birthday so...
around 29 years for me.
