The Dark Knight’s war on crime has been raging for over eight decades. During that time, the criminal element of Gotham City has sent Batman to some pretty dark, dangerous, and deadly places. So much so that, occasionally, the Caped Crusader has been known to take a life or two, especially during his earliest days as a crime fighter.While Batman’s infamous “no killing” rule has long been the bedrock of his character, it hasn’t always been the case. In fact, following his debut, Batman killed pretty recklessly. However, that would change forever less than a year later.All of which is to say that when Bob Kane and Bill Finger introduced Batman in the pages of Detective Comics #27 in 1939, he was far from a fully evolved hero. At this early point, Bob Kane thought of Batman more along the lines of the pulp vigilante known as the Shadow, the type of hero who believed it was his duty to mow down criminals with firearms. So much so that the story that appeared in Detective Comics #27 was a direct rip-off of a previously published Shadow story.
