I love Batman but I never got into the comics since the series was always "secondary" to TMNT for me.
In the 90's I also briefly got into Power Rangers but dropped it, and then became a huge Pokemon fan towards the end of that decade. Although had TMNT never been around, Batman would have been my #1 fandom.

Yes, I thought you might say that. It's clear that Batman has had a big effect on you. I would certainly recommend you taking some time to read some Batman novels, as I think you'd enjoy them.

The TMNT craze 'sealed the deal' and now I draw lots of fanart to this day.

I get ya. In a sense the aesthetically pleasing nature of the TMNT and their distinctive look has inculcated a permanent love of art and drawing in you. It's fantastic that the franchise has influenced you in such a manner. And, by the same token, you will probably influence younger people who you know. That's what life seems to be - a domino effect of imparted knowledge and a hotbed of ideas.
