Batman #70
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Robot Cop of Gotham City," the Penguin, newly released on parole under the condition he abandon all things avian, surprisingly goes straight—only to run an umbrella business that quickly spirals into criminal chaos. With Bob Kane’s distinctive art and Lew Sayre Schwartz’s dynamic inks, this 1952 classic delivers a delightfully absurd twist on Gotham’s rogues, all rendered with the crisp style of Win Mortimer’s cover.
In "The Robot Cop of Gotham City," an inventor builds a mechanical officer to serve the city, and the robot's relentless efficiency begins to outshine even Batman’s efforts—leaving the Dark Knight to wonder if his role in Gotham might soon be obsolete.
In "The Parasols of Plunder," the Penguin, newly paroled under the condition he abandon all things avian, surprisingly pivots to running a high-stakes umbrella shop—only to find his criminal instincts still dripping with mischief. With a flair for the theatrical and a mind full of schemes, he’s back in business, one parasol at a time.
