INVICTA DC COMICS COLLECTION LONG LIVE THE BAT Detective Comics. May 1939. Issue #27 - is the first time America met Batman: One of the most famous characters of all time. Though Superman is considered the most popular of the DC Comic characters, it is Bruce Wayne’s alter ego, Batman, that enjoys the most book appearances, outperforming Superman by roughly 1,500. Celebrating 80 years of icon status, Batman remains at the top of his game and at the height of popularity. True Super-Hero status can only be achieved through a relatively equally matched and complex Super-Villain. Batman and the Joker have been facing off since Bruce Wayne leapt from the pages of the Detective Comics and into the pages of his own book as Batman in the spring of 1940. Their epic struggle throughout the decades remains one of the most compelling and enduring hero/villain duos in popular culture. Opposite in both character and appearance and archenemies from the start, the Joker is the ideal nemesis to Batman. Disfigured in a chemical accident and despite the fact that he possesses no technical superpower, his twisted sense of humor, diabolical personality, visually thrilling appearance and scientific genius, makes the charismatically fearless Joker one of the most powerful antiheroes in the Universe.
