It’s back to the beginning for Batman in the movie theatres, so why not in the comics, too?
With a noticeable nod to the June 15 release of Batman Begins, The Batman Chronicles presents the first 13 appearances of the character in chronological order from 1939 and 1940.
These seminal tales by comic book legends Bob Kane, Bill Finger, Gardner Fox, Jerry Robinson and others are interesting nostalgically, but for those who grew up with the modern Batman will seem pretty hokey.
Still, there is something great about seeing these stories in the order they were released and, best of all, in an affordable format for those of us lacking the $500,000 it would cost to assemble these actual issues.
