Batman, one of the most iconic characters in comic book history, first appeared in Detective Comics #27 in 1939. Created by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger, the Dark Knight has since become a symbol of justice and resilience. Set in the sprawling city of Gotham, Batman operates from his high-tech mansion known as Wayne Manor, using his intellect, martial arts skills, and a vast array of gadgets to combat crime. Unlike many other superheroes, Batman is devoid of superpowers; instead, he relies on his exceptional combat training, strategic thinking, and an unbreakable will.
