Since the Silver Age, DC Comics has slowly managed to transform Batman into their biggest hero, placing him front and center in some of their biggest events and bestselling comics. Throughout the hero’s almost ninety-year existence, some of his best stories have actually ended in his death. As strange as his returns to life may be, a classic story from DC’s Silver Age may answer the question of how the hero keeps coming back from the underworld.Batman lives in Gotham, possibly the most dangerous city in comics, surrounded on all fronts by gangs, supervillains, killer clowns, and mafia families. His war on crime has placed a target on his back since the hero’s origins, and some of his earliest cases landed him face-to-face with the city’s most dangerous gangsters. Throughout his development at DC, he has cultivated one of the deadliest rogues galleries in DC history, from Joker and Bane to Two-Face and the Maroni and Falcone crime families. However, his closest brush with death came at his own hands when he infiltrated the elusive and mysterious Death Cheaters club, where the hero’s apparent ability to cheat death could have its origins.Since the Golden Age of Comics, Batman has always faced many close brushes with death, not to mention the times he seemed to die. Throughout the multiverse and DC history, Batman has been killed many times over, sometimes being resurrected, other times miraculously returning unscathed. For example, in the alternate universe of Superman/Batman, the two titular heroes became tyrants, and Wonder Woman delivered deadly justice to Batman. In his battle with Joker in the New 52’s Endgame, both characters seemed to die in their battle, only for both hero and villain to promptly return from the dead. Perhaps the Dark Knight’s most famous death was at the hands of Darkseid in Final Crisis (Grant Morrison & JG Jones), though that turned out to be a complicated time travel narrative.RELATED: 10 Main Reasons DC Will Never Completely Reboot Batman
