History

The debut of Detective Comics #27 helped shape the superhero genre during its formative years. Batman emerged about a year after Superman, offering a different kind of heroone who depended on intelligence, tactics, and physical ability instead of superpowers. His noir-inspired design and crime-fighting mission took cues from pulp-era detective fiction, particularly figures like The Shadow, who influenced the development of Batmans earliest adventures.
