Part of what makes DC Comics’ Batman such an enduring and distinctive character among his contemporaries is the brooding, street-level characteristics and atmosphere he’s often written in. That also tends to come with the notion that the Dark Detective is a lone wolf figure of sorts in the DC universe.But while he certainly tries to handle as much of his crimefighting on his own as possible — for better and worse — this idea is also somewhat of a misconception. In his early years, Batman was deadset on tackling Gotham City’s problems squarely on his own, but after just two or three years into his career, characters like Police Commissioner James Gordon and his sidekick Robin, the Caped Crusader’s mission became far more possible as a team effort.Even if the early crucial steps each character made were separately up to a point, Year One ultimately culminates with a message saying that these two learning to confide in one another made a seemingly impossible goal doable. Since then, the eventual Police Commissioner James Gordon became one of Batman’s closest friends and allies outside of his superhero-themed circle. Up until they learned they were fundamentally on the same side, this inexperienced Bruce Wayne struggled to clearly define his presence as the Caped Crusader and apply his training. Having a partner to work in the field with him, even just partly, is the most realistic way Batman could carry on a mission he knows will be never-ending.
