Some of American pop culture's most beloved characters are superheros, and many of these costumed crime-fighters find their origins in the colorful pages of DC Comics. Founded in the early 1930s, DC created the superhero genre and has given life to many of its most iconic characters, especially Batman, the Dark Knight, and Superman, the Man of Steel. From the golden age to the modern age of comics, Batman and Superman have endured as champions of justice and stand today among the most famous fictional characters in the world.
