Wayang Kulit of Batman From Java Traditional Culture

What is Wayang?
Based on my own opinion Wayang or you can called it as WAJANG is a traditional puppet show from Java, Indonesia that using shadow for telling the story. Usually the stories they tell about the morals of life. Wayang also was used as a media for spreading the religion in Indonesia through the story because in that time people's really like a story from Wayang.
There are so many styles of Wayang:
- Wayang Kulit (Skin Wayang in English)
- Wayang Wong (Human Wayang in English )
- Wayang gedog or wayang topeng (Wayang Mask in English)
- Wayang golek
- Wayang karucil or wayang klitik
- -Wayang beber
- Wayang and new themes
