Detective Comics #27, published in May 1939, marked the first appearance of Batman, one of the most iconic characters in comic book history. Created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger, the issue introduced the world to Bruce Wayne, a wealthy socialite who secretly dons the cape and cowl to fight crime. Set in Gotham City, this debut story, "The Case of the Chemical Syndicate," shows the Caped Crusader investigating a murder tied to corporate corruption. This just kicks off the idea of the World's Greatest Detective, showcasing his skills and no-nonsense approach to justice. Superman was thriving at the time, but Batman's darker tone, mysterious persona, and tragic origin made him stand out during the time. McFarlane was sure to capture this bruting Dark Knight faithfully with this figure that received a Standard and Platinum Edition release.

Detective Comics #27: The First Appearance of Batman
This Batman surely stands out from some of the more modern depictions of the Dark Knight, with his unique cowl and colorful attire. McFarlane Toys also finally gave this version of the Caped Crusader a wired caped, which fans have been asking for for quite some time, and for the $22.99 price tag, that's a steal. The Platinum Edition added some blue elements to his batsuit, capturing his more cover appearance from Detective Comics #27, which was amazing to find. Everything about this figure is a treat for DC Comics fans, from its classic look, both elements, swappable hands, and his handy wrench. While Batman might overused in the DC Multiverse line, figures like this are amazing to see, and hopefully, more will come in 2025.
