Detective Comics

    (DC, 1937-2011, 2016-Present)
™ and ©1994 DC Comics, Inc.

The legend of the Batman started in Detective Comics #27. It was then that the remarkable young Bruce Wayne, heir to the Wayne fortune, saw his parents gunned down by a mugger. The experience changed Bruce forever, and when he was grown he began leading a double life. By day he was an idle playboy, but by night he patrolled Gotham City as the Batman, a caped crusader who took on the aspect of a bat in order to frighten criminals.

In the more than eighty years that followed, Detective Comics has been the flagship title of DC’s comic line. Indeed, it’s from this title that DC (formerly National Periodical Publications) derived its name.
