Batman

Tlano is an alien hero from the planet Zur-En-Arrh who modeled himself after Earth's Batman. When the two meet, Tlano demonstrates his own bat-themed crime-fighting abilities, which function differently under his world's red sun, making him far more powerful than his human inspiration.

A Silver Age gem from the pages of DC Comics, this Batman leapt onto the scene in 1958 courtesy of Bob Kane, emerging during one of the most imaginative and wildly inventive eras in comics history. With 66 years of appearances in the catalog and a home in the Batman series, this is a character who has kept remarkable company — sharing adventures with the likes of Robin, Batgirl, Tlano, and Bruce Wayne across some genuinely memorable issues. Whether you're a dedicated Bat-historian or a curious browser, a character with this kind of longevity and Silver Age pedigree is always worth a closer look.
