Batman
The first Batman story, "The Case of the Chemical Syndicate", was published in "Detective Comics" #27 (May 1939). Finger said, "Batman was originally written in the style of the pulps", and this influence was evident with Batman showing little remorse over killing or maiming criminals. Batman proved a hit character, and he received his own solo title in 1940 while continuing to star in "Detective Comics". By that time, Detective Comics was the top-selling and most influential publisher in the industry; Batman and the company's other major hero, Superman, were the cornerstones of the company's success. The two characters were featured side-by-side as the stars of "World's Finest Comics", which was originally titled "World's Best Comics" when it debuted in fall 1940. Creators including Jerry Robinson and Dick Sprang also worked on the strips during this period.
Batman: The Brave and the Bold (comics)
The story has Batman and The Flash teaming up to put out fires started by Heat Wave, who has teamed up with Firefly. While the fight is going on, there is a charity ball in Gotham City where some Gothamites are discussing why Bruce Wayne has not shown up with a donation.The UK version was published by Titan Magazines from March 2010 to August 2014, lasting for 55 issues. It reprinted comic strips previously featured in the original American comic book but also added extra content including puzzles, profiles and other special features. Because of these extra features, the short opening scenes from the comic strips were sometimes cut. However, this did not affect the over-all story as the opening scenes are usually unrelated to the main story. A free gift was also added. It was Titan Magazines' third Batman comic alongside "Batman Legends" and "DC Universe Presents Batman Superman" and was the first to be aimed at a younger audience.
