The first issue of Batman comes out strong with the first (and second) appearance of Joker and also the first appearance of Catwoman, which shows Batman giving her a very loose leash from the onset.

not rating because i only read the joker stories and the origin story at the beginning. the joker stories were really fun, and i honestly like the pulp feel these early comics have. it was also nice not to see batman kill anybody lol
