May 1969. Batman reveals that he's been expanding his musical horizons in this panel from "The Cry of the Night Is--Sudden Death!" from DETECTIVE COMICS #387.
April–May 1980. Batman loses his cool a bit in a scene from DETECTIVE COMICS #490, but who could blame him?
March 1984. Poor Jason. Everyone knows it, but you can't just say it.
April 1987. Why Selina Kyle loves Batman, the Frank Miller version, part 2: After saving a stray cat from being shot by a murderous police SWAT team, Batman singles out the cop who tried to shoot the cat and puts him through a brick wall, as the crowd (which includes Selina Kyle) watches, in the second part of this scene from BATMAN #406, the third part of "Batman: Year One."
(I've used the recolored trade paperback version of these panels, with the more muted color palette, because the reproduction is clearer.)
October 2006. Jealous much, Selina? This scene from BATMAN AND THE MAD MONK #1 is set early in Batman's career, inserting into the "Year One"/LONG HALLOWEEN period a modern version of some of Batman's earliest published adventures (in this case DETECTIVE COMICS #31–32) — including Bruce Wayne's engagement to Julie Madison, the Chanel wearer to whom Catwoman alludes:
He's just so emotionally articulate.
October 1987. He has a sense of humor too, after a fashion, as evidenced by this moment from BATMAN #412.
October 1988. Batman's musical acumen knows no bounds, as this scene from BATMAN: THE CULT #3 reveals. (In keeping with the book's unrelenting ugliness, the humming turns out to be the story's villain, who's happily bathing in a cauldron full of human blood.) For the record, while "Tiny Bubbles" was Don Ho's theme song, it was actually composed by Leon Pober, and was originally intended for Lawrence Welk.
August 1986. Bankrupt and thrown out of Wayne Manor due to a complex stock manipulation scheme, Batman asks the really important questions in this scene from BATMAN ANNUAL #10.
