I didn't really say anything about Batman's inaugural issue because I didn't really think there was anything to be said. Yes, it was simple, a bit hokey, and whatever else you want to say about it, but that's to be expected with a comic from 1939, right?

Then in this issue, Batman decides not to use his gloves for most of the issue, with it never being mentioned, even though Batman is at odds with the police, and possibly that could lead to his capture. Also, Batman's plan is so pointless and used as a way to illicit drama, more
