Each day, it seems like there are hundreds of infographics popping up online. Some are excellent,while others are so poor that they can make you want to give your screen a lethal Hadouken.

In this infographic, you'll be given a closer look atthe history of Batman's whip over the past several decades, some of which Robin had the pleasure ofriding shotgun in, which is pretty cool if you ask me.

This graphic not only covers the designs of each model, but also cost comparisons and a face-offbetween the Batmobiles from 1966 and 2005. Hasbro should sue Batman, in my opinion, becausethat 1939 ride looks like it's about to buy up Park Place and Boardwalk.

#2: US Olympic Wrestling Legends - Blood, Sweat, and Glory

(WWSport.com)

Coming from Worldwide Sport Supply, this infographic profiles outstanding Olympians whorepresented the United States with their blood, sweat, and tears. This even dates back to a time

when Teddy Roosevelt was President, so you know the research put into this is good.

On this infographic, you'll learn about some of the all-time greats, including information on theUniversity they wrestled for, the Awards won throughout their careers, and even some fun facts onthem, like how Jack Van Bebber's nickname was "Blackjack." Fierce.

While it's a great and informative infographic, there's one big omission - where is Kurt Angle? Forthose that don't know, he won the Olympic Gold Medal with a broken freakin' neck in Atlanta (1996).Even more impressive to some, he once beat The Rock for the WWF Championship. For that alone,he deserves to be on every sports-related infographic ever.

(EuroClinix.co.uk)

He might not admit it, but Ronald McDonald fears healthy food. When he hears the word 'organic,'his red and yellow knees shake and his pants become soaked. This infographic from EuroClinix takesa closer look at the era of fast food possibly ending, as more people are realizing that heart attackscan actually kill you.

It's a real informative and well-done infographic, even explaining what terms like free-range andorganic really mean. As this infographic outlines, the public is smartening up, and heading in a morehealthy direction.

Basically, fast food restaurants need to change their game up, or you're going to be seeing Grimaceand the Hamburglar out there on the streets of McDonaldland bumming cigarettes and asking forchange - not a good situation.

Many people over the years have had pretty killer hair. This infographic showcases some of thosehairstyles, with the 'dos of world renowned legends like Cousin Itt and Alfalfa.

For the most part, this graphic is pretty cut and dry (get it?), showing you some neat hair, along withwho is belongs to and what television show or film they appeared in.

Featuring 45 different hairstyles, it covers both old and new characters that you're familiar with, likeScooby Doo's Velma Dinkley and Gotham's Oswald 'Penguin' Cobblepott. Cobblepott has great hair,but it's unfortunately wasted on a terrible show. Cancel it.

(GlobalWatchShop.co.uk)

Over the years, there have been been several films in the James Bond series, with multiple actorsbeing placed into the role. In fact, since the Buffalo Bills last made the playoffs, there have beenmultiple Bonds across five different films - amazing!

This graphic gives you a detailed look at Agent 007's best gadgets over the years, like his Laser Rifleand Radioactive Lint (what?). Anyone that grew up in the '90s like myself has a soft spot forGoldeneye too, which is featured on this infographic, because its video game counterpart put theNintendo 64 on the map.

The realism in it was ground-breaking at the time, as you would shoot the enemy in the shoulder and

he would grab his kneecap. Also, it was fun planting proximity mines in the bathroom stalls at theFacility. You did it too, don't lie.

#6: The Top 10 Pay-Per-View Fights Of All Time

(SportsInteraction.com)

This infographic was put out right before the recent snoozer between Floyd Mayweather and MannyPacquiao, and it looks at the top Pay-Per-Views fights ever. It's important to note that this onlycovers boxing, because if it covered everything, Hulk Hogan selling out the Pontiac Silverdome with93,000,000,000 people would be at the top of this thing.

Either way, some of Boxing's greatest bouts ever are featured here, including information on thepayouts, even down to the minute. For example, in the 1997 rumble where Mike Tyson wasdisqualified for munching on Evander Holyfield's ear, he was paid $3,333,333 per minute.

It's one thing to get paid to eat, but it's another to make that much doing it - pretty impressive. Whatwould the Pay-Per-View buys have been for Mike Tyson versus Little Mac?

One law in Kentucky, which isn't that enforced, says that you can't keep ice cream in your backpocket.
