In “If I Pass This Way Again,” we look at comic book plot points that were rarely (sometimes NEVER!) mentioned again after they were first introduced. Today, we look at how it was revealed that Batman was raised by the mother of the very man who murdered Batman’s parents. In the mid-1960s, DC stumbled upon a great way of making more money. After doing a number of “Annual” comics in the early 1960s, it also started to release “80-Page Giant” editions of its regular comic books, with more than double the page count of a regular comic book for twice the cover price. However, the vast majority of the comic book would be reprinted stories that DC already paid for, so it was still cost-beneficial for the company. After doing a few one-shot editions, in 1965, DC started to do these “DC Giants” more frequently, with each giant now also doubling as a regular issue of a comic book (so DC-Giant #17 was also Batman #176).It wasn’t until nearly the TENTH anniversary of Batman’s existence, in 1948, that we learned who actually killed Batman’s parents, in April 1948’s Batman #47 (written by Bill Finger, with art by Bob Kane and Charles Paris)
