Checkout the starting line up of Warhammer 40k’s origins. These were the ‘Imperial’ Space Marines from Rogue Trader, but there’s something else you should know about them too.

It took me awhile to notice it, but checkout the names of the marines.

They seem to all be named after the original 1960’s Batman cast members. POW!
