Wayne-Tec Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 I used to lean toward #29 but I've changed my thinking... Tec #31 is the top Batman book after Tec #27 and Batman #1. Bat 1 beats them all. B & R swinging over Gotham on a canary yellow cover! Batman #1 > Tec #27 is not that crazy a statement. Due to rarity and the nature of hero > villain, Tec #27 will always be the top Batman book. But Batman #1 is far more socially relevant -- rumor has it Heath Ledger used the two Joker stories as source material to study from. I'm confident few studied the story of Batman in Tec #27 for much beyond seeing a "cool look" at the birth of the character. Batman #1 has four times the classic content, features two monumental 1st appearances and much more. FMV will never reflect the aforementioned, but it can be argued that Batman #1 is the superior book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A book like this needs to be thumbed up at least for a while Totally. (thumbs u So cool to see those early Batman stories in context, and I love the mix of other random early DC features (some by Siegel & Shuster, etc). It's wild to think as you read a 1939 Detective Comics that no one back then had any idea of "The Bat-Man's" potential. The character could have easily been dropped after six months or a year for some other random feature, and forgotten by history. Instead he's an iconic pop culture character today in 2013, known the world over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
