One thought on “OVERLOOKED DARK KNIGHT EPISODE 69 – THE REAL YEAR ONE PART 2”

  1. I have really enjoyed your look back at Batman’s actual “year one”. Those stories are a lot of fun, and several lay some groundwork for many future storylines and ongoing villains, even at this early point.
    I must say something, though, about your commentary on “The Case of the Ruby Idol” from Detective Comics #35. You mocked Sheldon Lennox for his plan to sell the idol to Weldon, then steal it back from him to cut it up and re-sell the pieces. I think it makes sense, from a criminal’s perspective. If I could sell the same thing twice (or more than twice, having cut it up to sell in pieces), I would make more money, and isn’t that the point? Make as much money as possible.
