Today the comic book world is celebrating the most favorited and recognizable figure in the comic book universe. Today is also the first day of SDCC, which is the main reason they wanted to celebrate Batman day. Batman first appeared in Detective Comics 27 in March 30th, 1939! Yes, before the "Detective Comics" series became completely dedicated to being another batman title, he was just the mysterious Bat-Man! Along with his apperance is also the apperance of Commisioner Gordon, Bruce Wayne's friend.
Today, in participating comic book stores and libraries, you can get a reprint of the first apperance of Batman! Now, don't get too excited. Because even if the comic says "64 pages of action!" It's almost about 4 pages of actual batman solving a crime faster than ever... Probably (unless he had to solve the case of "who stole the cookie from the cookie jar." It was Dick...). Also in the comic is a readaption of the first apperance of batman written for the purpose of what if he appeared in Modern times. I love both adaptions. The first is pure innocent comic book fun and the next is the batman we all know today. Along with the answers of why he is batman, why he must do this. The last story in the comic is called "27" and it's basically batmans between universes, why they must keep rebooting the universes. It's super cool! If you read my review about Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse, it makes my explanation about the constant reboots of comics make sense.
The last two pages is a preview of the first apperance of Batman, but slightly altered.
Along with a comic you can even get your chance to get a mask and cape! There are four different mask to choose from, and I, as a fan of the 66 batman, is getting that mask! It's gonna be so cool!
As Batman said in his 30th issue, but with a few changes, ready for another 75 years?!
Happy Batman day everyone!
