etienne02 's review for:

Batman (1940-2011) #1 by Bill Finger, Whitney Ellsworth, Guy Monroe, Bob Kane, Raymond Perry, Paul Gustavson, George Papp
5.0

Here it is, the issue that started it all. I was surprised by many things in this first issue. They are short stories, Batman smoke, Batman kill brutaly and Batman doesn't fight very well. I also didn't know that Strange was such an old character. Well lot of surprises, lot of fun, a bunch of clichés, but putting in in perspective with the year it was publish and all that, it was, and still is, groundbreaking.
