“Brothers in Crime!”

In "Brothers in Crime!", Gotham City throws a festive "Batman Day" to honor the Dark Knight’s heroic deeds, a celebration that also inspires Bruce Wayne to finish the final chapter of his own book. Written by Bill Finger and brought to life by Bob Kane’s iconic art, with Jerry Robinson’s inks and George Roussos’s lettering, this 1942 classic captures the early spirit of the Bat-legacy—complete with a cover by Robinson and Roussos that perfectly frames the city’s tribute.
