Watch Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice on Amazon Things like the mustachioed Thomas Wayne and the string of pearls caught on the barrell of the gun are right out of there, as well as the (dream?) sequence where young Bruce is surrounded by bats after accidentally discovering the bat cave. The visual inspiration for this origin sequence is, like many things in the film, taken from Frank Miller, Klaus Janson, and Lynn Varley’s seminal The Dark Knight Returns, which was first published in 1986. That’s not true, but it sometimes feels that way. To make up for that six month gap, DC Comics and their media partners are now contractually obligated to re-tell Batman’s origin in some form, whether it’s in the comics, on the screen, or via finger puppets, every six months in perpetuity. While Batman first appeared in Detective Comics #27 in 1939, we didn’t see his actual origin until a two-page segment in Detective Comics #33.
