Toulouse. Batman fans were out
Warner Bros DC is organizing the election of the biggest fan of Batman, with a stage in Toulouse, which took place on September 7.
In front of the Blagnac shopping center, this Wednesday, September 7, around fifty people, accompanied by their most beautiful accessories bearing the image of the famous Dark Knight, came to compete for the prize for “the best Batman fan”. Among them, some have even donned the costume of their favorite character. “Beyond a simple villain, the joker represents anarchy in society, that’s what I like,” says Amaury, dressed in the purple costume of the evil clown. A little further on, Yassin plays Ben Affleck’s Batman in the film “Batman VS Superman”. “I love this dark, detective and manipulative character,” he laughs.
One after the other, the participants are tested on their knowledge of the Batman universe. Once the tests are over, one of them will be selected for the grand finale, which will take place in Paris on September 17th. For these fans, the jackpot is tantalizing to say the least. And for good reason, the big winner will be offered a trip to Los Angeles, during which he can visit the famous Warner Bros. studios.
Meeting of enthusiasts
But one of the motivations of the participants in the competition is also to be able to discuss their passion, which for some, is not new. “I’ve been a fan since I was 4 years old,” continues Amaury. Since then, the latter has expressed his taste for the Batman universe through drawing. Yassin, on the other hand, is a fan of cosplay, as evidenced by his gigantic foam mat armor, made with his own hands. “I often cosplay, I attend many conventions,” he explains.
Finally, around 6 p.m., the jury put an end to the suspense and elected the winner of the day, who is none other: Amaury!
