Batman #1 is easily one of the most important comics of the Golden Age, featuring one of the most iconic covers. There's still much more historical significance than just Batman landing a solo title. In this case, the Caped Crusader was following Superman's success in launching his own book just a year after his debut in Detective Comics. Batman #1, however, has the added impact of introducing both The Joker and the Cat (later dubbed Catwoman) as two of the most beloved villains in the history of comics.
There have easily been over a hundred titles devoted to Batman over the years—more than Superman and Spider-Man combined. Batman has been featured in several serials and animated series, plus TV shows, movies, video games, novelizations, record albums, and virtually every other medium. Batman is omnipresent. And, with Robin also joining Batman from the pages of Detective, this book is yet another vital early milestone (and timeless investment) in the Dynamic Duo's rise to worldwide stardom.
