On April 18, 1939 the anthology comic series Detective Comics (from which DC Comics would eventually take its name) released issue #27. Featuring the weird figure of the dark and somber Batman on its striking cover, it introduced one of the genera’s most important, influential, and popular super heroes. Created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger, Batman – along with Robin and the rest of a supporting cast of characters and villains just as colorful and recognizable as the Dark Knight himself, would go on to appear in his own title, newspaper strips, radio (guest-starring on The Adventures of Superman program), Saturday serials, television, motion pictures, toys, games, books, and more.
