As I read, I noticed that the newspaper name changes from The Tribune to the Daily Globe and in Batman No. 1 it’s called the Daily Star. Both the Daily Globe and Daily Star are similar to the newspaper seen in the Superman comics called the Daily planet. I found it to be an interesting similarity between the two different superhero comics. In “Frenchy Blake’s Jewel Gang,” on the first page, as it describes Batman’s true identity being unknown it also says (He is one Bruce Wayne, bored young socialite) which is different from the first page of “The Case of the Chemical Syndicate.” It illustrates the author’s update considering Batman’s identity is revealed in the first issue. Also in “Frenchy Blake’s Jewel Gang,” it says “This is exactly what the “Bat-Man” wants them to think—we’ll see why in a moment” demonstrates a unique addition to the comic. The author normally doesn’t add any input in comics which provides this new and unique approach where the author states Batman’s plan was going the way he wanted it.
The Batman Chronicles also contained a lot of funny lines. For instance in “Professor Hugo,” when Batman refers to himself as a bowling ball and the bad guys as pins. He says, “This, boys, is what they call a perfect strike, on any bowling alley.” Also Robin adds his own sarcasm in “The Cat” where he says, “I don’t like your face…I’ll think I’ll change its appearance” to the bad guy. I found a lot of the lines both Batman and Robin said to be very funny and corny. Also in “The Cat,” one of the frames illustrates Batman directing a comment to those reading the comic saying, “Well, kids, there’s your proof! Crooks are yellow without their guns! Don’t go around admiring them…rather do your best in fighting them and all their kind!” This statement illustrates Batman being used to teach children a moral lesson. By distinguishing that bad guys shouldn’t be admired and should instead be taken down, illustrates to children the importance of what’s good and bad. By doing so, Batman is used as a tool to motivate children to do the right thing and not look up to bad guys.
