Detective Comics #28

Summary: Someone’s stealing jewels and Batman has to stop them! (This will happen often)

Cover date: June 1939

They’re kinda still figuring out how to draw him, although they do that for a while. Bruce pretends to be Commissioner Gordon and threatens a police informant with jail time unless he tells him where the thieves are, as one does, and somehow this works. Also, CinemaSins ding noise every time Batman kills someone- this time it’s by kicking them off a roof. RIP Ricky 😔

(And it’s not a, he falls out of sight but maybe he’s not dead we just don’t know! thing, in the next page the gang of thieves is like “damn it sure sucks that Batman killed Ricky”)

Anyway, Batman has some convoluted plan where he pretends to be one of the thieves, and somehow he knows this will make the real thieves think they’re in the clear because the police will be chasing Batman instead of them, and thus make them reckless and commit more crimes

(Me when I think I feel a desire to be productive but actually it’s just a desire to read more Batman comics)

Batman catches the thieves on another heist, and does stuff like toss people off buildings to extract confessions, honk outside the police station until people come out and then throw a criminal at them and leave, and sign letters with a drawing of a bat because he’s melodramatic.
