Holy Bat Kilt!

A friend on another forum posted these for me.

They are from Detective Comics #198 August 1953.

A friend in England found them somewhere and posted them for me.

Now I want to track down a copy of that issue for my collection.

the only superhero that has no superpowers, taking on all comers with impossible odds simply because he will see no one wronged, defending lost causes with some kind of honour code. Yeah, sounds like a highlander to me.

By the way, Wayne is meant to have Scottish heritage and, not to stir up the Templars again, the Templars have condemned the comic where Batman confronts them in Rosslyn Chapel. http://www.parascope.com/articles/slips/fs29_1.htm

Might also explain my need to beat the crap out of people that belittle and bully others.

You think genetics may have something to do with it? :grin:
