Batman’s tragic origin story, which debuted in 1939’s Detective Comics #33, was first seen outside of comics in The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians’ episode “The Fear” from 1985. The use of lightning to represent the murder of the Waynes in this children’s cartoon and Adam West voicing Batman makes this one of the best interpretations of his famous origin.✌🏽💙🦇📺 | History of The Batman
