Earlier this week we took a look at the entirety of Detective Comics #27, but the only thing folks care about with that comic is the debut of Batman, or as he’s called in the story, the “Bat-Man”. And the biggest difference between Batman and the “Bat-Man” is he has no concerns about life when it comes to the villains. I guess it was a different time but it’s still interesting. Interesting enough that my “no-killing” fights rule is suspended because seeing is believing.
“Battling Murdock” round 4
The Battlefield: Detective Comics #27 (Detective Comics, Incorporated; May, 1939) The Bat-Man: “The Case Of The Chemical Syndicate”
The Promoters: Bob Kane and Bill Finger. I just let you guys fight over who deserves what.
Batman The “Bat-Man” has uncovered a plot to kill off all of the partners of a chemical plant, as he saves the only survivor left.
I’d ask why this guy has an acid tank in his basement, but I still don’t get the giant glass that sprays you with gas.
So the “Bat-Man” explains what’s been going on to the survivor and the guy reaches for a gun. Note that’s he’s still standing right next to a guy in a bat costume who just beat up his assistant.
Wait, isn’t this the Joker’s origin?
Wait, Batman just punched a guy into an acid tank? Surely he’s all upset about even an evil life….
“Mind if I borrow this? I may have some other villains someday fans insist I kill on purpose.”
The “Bat-Man” on the other hand is stone cold!
