Characters

Notes

On the cover and spine of book the title is "Detective Comics: 80 Years of Batman The Deluxe Edition", but the indicia title is "Detective Comics: 80 Years of Batman".

Collects the first appearances of Batman, Robin, Batgirl, Batwoman, Bat-Mite, and villains such as Two-Face, the Riddler, and Man-Bat. Also includes the first appearances of other characters who debuted in Detective Comics, including the Crimson Avenger, Air Wave, the Boy Commandos, Pow-Wow Smith, Roy Raymond, and the Martian Manhunter.

Slam Bradley debuted in Detective Comics #1, and his first appearance was originally planned to be included in this collection as well, but it was pulled due to concerns over racial stereotypes portrayed in that story. His appearance from Detective Comics #27 is included instead.

Second printing available June 19, 2019 (per comiclist.com).

A third printing exists, dated September 20, 2022 (this appears to be the date the book was printed).
