This Weird Figure of the Dark...

BATMAN

A take on the Golden-Age Batman, as seen circa Detective Comics #36 (Feb, 1940). This is a 'year one' Batman. He's still distrusted by the police -- even Commissioner Gordon wants him captured. There's no Batcave yet, no Robin, no Alfred. The Batmobile is just a normal looking red sedan, though it's heavily modified to be bullet-proof, faster, and more powerful.
