FEBRUARY: The Batsignal lights up the skies of Gotham, calling The Batman, for the first time in DETECTIVE COMICS #60.

AUGUST: Being of two minds on the subject, Gotham City District Attorney Harvey Kent (later changed to “Dent” so people wouldn’t think he was kin to a certain mild-mannered Metropolis newspaper man) as well has his criminal persona, Two Face, debut in DETECTIVE COMICS #66.

FALL: It is revealed that a large cave exists underneath stately Wayne Manor and it’s described as being Batman’s “secret underground hangar” in BATMAN #12.

Bill "Jett" Ramey
Bill “Jett” Ramey isn’t just a Batman fan — he’s one of the founding fathers of the online Batman community. As the creator and Editor-in-Chief of Batman-On-Film.com, the original and longest-running Batman news and commentary site, Jett helped carve the very bedrock of modern fan internet press. A lifelong Dark Knight disciple, Jett has spent decades championing filmmaker‑driven Batman stories, cutting through fanboy noise with a Texas‑sized dose of honesty, and keeping the conversation smart, civil, and drama‑free. He’s the BOF Godfather — the guy who was here before the hashtags, before the clickbait, before the algorithms… and he’s still here, still talking Batman, still calling it straight. When he steps out of Gotham, Jett is pure Texas. He bleeds Dallas Cowboys blue, blasts Elvis and rock ’n’ roll, and has a deep appreciation for cold beer, dive bars, and Texas Longhorns football. He works out, he cooks, and he can grill like a man who’s earned the right to say “don’t assume” when he tells you he lives in the great state of Texas. He shares that home with his wife — “Announcer Rachel” — and their dogs: Gracelin the Labradoodle and Presley, a rescue pup named after the King himself.
