Thanks for explaining it better than I can, ADour. I mean, I like Batman and he's tough and all, but he often needs to know about the person he's fighting.

For example, when Batman first fought Kite Man, Batman actually had a hard time fighting him! The idea of someone using kites as a method of attack was something Batman never thought as being necessary to prepare for.

Sure that story was made in the Silver Age, but because Kite Man existed after the different multiverse shattering crisis's DC had, and no new stories were made of Kite Man's first encounter with Batman, seems to make it (or part of it) canon!
