you have to embrace the madness sometimes to enjoy these old comics, if you only like comics which are logical, then you will never like them.
Well, no super-hero comics are logical, Super Monkey, but I agree completely; as long as you realise my post was about something that has always bothered me about Batman, whether Golden Age, Silver Age, or modern age. I think a fundamental flaw in the portrayal of the character -- which annoys
me (see my post) -- doesn't take anything away from these charming old comics.
And it's also important to point out -- although I am not necessarily talking about the comic used as an example here -- that yes, there are plenty of Golden Age comics that are crap, the same as in any other era.
