The Issue
A world still being invented.
Batman #5 belongs to the hero’s early years, when familiar parts of his world were still taking shape. Inside is a newly bat-shaped Batmobile; outside, the cover turns Batman himself into an enormous figure of justice. This exhibit begins with the cover, then follows the ideas behind the issue.
