Ole Kirk Christiansen is the founder of The Lego Group, and the company was inaugurated on August 10, 1932. The company name Lego was derived from his native language, which is Danish, and the word Lego literally translates as “play well” in the Danish language.
The Lego Group was started as a toy base in 1932, and in the beginning produced wooden toys for kids, but it didn’t go well. So, in 1947 the company started producing Lego plastic toys and interlocking bricks. But suddenly, there was a fire where the company’s wooden toys were produced. After that, Godfred, who was Ole’s son and the new owner of the company, decided to stop the production of wooden toys and primarily focused on just interlocking plastic bricks and plastic products.
Jørgen Vig Knudstorp is the ex-CEO of the Lego Group, and Niels B. Christiansen is the current CEO of the company. The company makes a total revenue of 43.7 billion kr, which equals $4 billion as per the 2021 index. The Lego Group has a total of 24,484 active employees all around the world.
Now talking about Batman, Batman is a fictional superhero character who is based in America and first appeared in comic books. Bob Kane created Batman, and Bill Finger wrote the character’s details. It was first published on March 30, 1939, in Detective Comics. The copyrights of the superhero character have been owned by the DC Universe since the beginning, and they still own it.
The Batman, who is a super rich person, a philanthropist, industrialist, looks after his father’s business, loves to party, is kind of rude, and a playboy, and lives his everyday life like this, comes out in the night in a black suit and appears like a Bat bird and saves the people who are weak and are in trouble. Roughly this was the original idea of Batman when the character was created in 1939. The character who lives a normal life and turns into a superhero ‘Batman’ the character is named ‘Bruce Wayne.’
‘Batman,’ who is a superhero character, doesn’t have any superpowers, like genetics or being possessed by a certain animal or bird, the superpower that Batman posses are just wealth, and he is very, very rich. He trained himself so much physically and mentally to prepare himself to fight his inner battles and so save other people, and he presented himself as bat seen creature who runs around the fictional city ‘Gotham City’ and protects people. He fights criminals and delivers people justice with his immense fighting skills, his intelligence, and he has a moral code that if people do wrong things, they should be punished for what they did.
