as a diehard batman fan, superman should be number 1. he is the foundation of everything that we hold dear in comics today. Yes, after so many years, there may be more well-written characters, and more interesting ones, but he was and always will be the first of them all, that's why he deserves #1
Crimson Head98 He did however fit very well into that crime-noir theme of that time, superman is the universial symbol for comics, he's been around and popular ever since his creation
For the “top 100 superheroes” list, they seem to be weighing more than just “been around longest” or “most iconic” or “original.” Being more well written and more interesting are pretty dang important, lol. I’ve always disliked Superman and found him really boring and bland. Strongly disagree that he took the top slot.
Define "superhero?" A normal, highly intelligent man, with no inherent metaphysical or supernatural powers, fights crime. Am I describing Jim Gordon? Batman? Both?
+Sunset Rider Jim Gordon is just a hero. Batman is a human with superior intelligence, and is in perfect shape. Just like Captain America, who doesn't have super powers. Jim Gordon is an average caught in extreme circumstances, whereas bats is at the peak of human ability.
The people saying Batman is better than Superman or Superman sucks probably don't even read comics so they pretty much know literally nothing about these characters and their stories.
This list is pretty good, and it covers a huge variety of heroes, even if I disagree with the few at the top. My top five are 1) Nightwing 2) Captain America 3) Black Widow 4) The Flash (Wally West, not Barry Allen) 5) Batgirl
1. superman 2. wonder woman 3. Batman 4. shazam 5. The Flash 6. MMH 7. Daredevil 8. Spawn 9. Batwoman 10. Hulk HM: Hitman, Vixen, Watchmen comedian, rorshack and dr. manhatten, V from V for Vendetta.
+ProjectUnite I dont care, still hate him...super OVERRATED. dont care if hes the first superhero. Truth and justice is boring. vengeance, way more interesting. being the oldest doesnt make you the best. Basically John Cena
You're right, he'll always be called number one. Out of nostalgia and what not. No matter how boring, shallow, unpopular and stupid his character becomes
I'm a Batman fan myself but I do agree that Superman is the greatest superhero. Without his creation, we wouldn't have Batman and almost if not all of comic book superheroes.
I like both, but I grew up DC, and after looking over hero's and villains in both, DC has way better hero's. Marvel just has knock offs, that make really good movies, with the right $$$
Superman is better than Batman, thats why he is Number 1. Superman isn't Boring, just because he can stop bullets with eye doesn't mean he is Boring. He never faces normal thugs like Batman does. He faces Doomsday, Darkseid, Brainiac, etc. Batman is a Great Character, but his comics has Plot Induced Stupidity, and he is a Dark Character, Ego and Attitude, thinks that he can beat any one and shit. Batman himself has claimed that Superman can Crush him any time he wants, but Superman is a Good guy from inside. Superman > Batman any day *IMO*
Awesome and great top 100 list guys :P. my top 5 would have to be. (in no order) DC's Green Lantern. (John Stewart) Marvel's Wolverine. Marvel's Daredevil. IDW's Donatello. (tmnt) DC's Zatanna.
All of these characters were chosen based on their comic book origins. Movies and tv shows weren't really a factor here, and the movies are often times vastly different from their source. Making a list on comic book characters because you watched their movies isn't a comic book list, it's a 'comic-book character MOVIE' list. I love this list because they included (in the 100) all the best ones, and tried to be as unbiased as possible. Marvel or DC they spoke about each character as something awesome, interesting and 'you should read it' And superman is number one because he was the first character, he started everything we love today about comics. Go read Kingdom Come. Great List guys :)
well i have no problem with it. it's interesting to see other people's opinion. my personal favorite superhero is daredevil. there's nothing wrong with that is there? we all have different opinions just saying :)
Perfect Ranking IGN! Superman is The King of Kings of Superheroes! Hes no.1! Hes a Winner a Champion! No one can beat him! And hes my favorite superhero of All Time! Specially The Christopher Reeve Superman version.
My top 3 would be 3) Iron man 2) Batman 1)Spiderman I put spiderman as number one because he is such a relatable character, I grew up with him as a child and his powers are awesome!
Ipwnnoobs83 No superhero is relatable. I can’t relate to a guy who got bit by a radioactive spider and got spider powers anymore than I can relate to a indestructible alien for space. As it’s all subjective you have to narrow it down to cultural impact and superman obviously wins that.
10: Superman 9: Zatanna 8: Green Lantern (Hal) 7: Captain America 6: The Hulk 5: Wonder Woman 4: Daredevil 3: Batman 2: The Flash (Barry) 1: Spider-Man
Batman is my favorite hero but Superman is slightly better because of how DC comics uses the two. Superman is the best and perfect hero whereas Batman is the most impressive because he does more than any other hero with no power.
This entire list was DC biased. I understand if people want to argue DC had better stories and better characters ok, but this was ridiculous how many underrated Marvel characters. Professor X Deadpool gambit T'Challa Mr Fantastic Ant Man all severely underrated. I completely understand objectively and this is not it.the only underrated DC characters where Shazam and the Flash half of the marvel universe was underrated.
Super man deserved to be number 1 on this list. Why? Because he represents everything a person should and could be. Not an indestructible alien, no, but a person that Always does what's right and thinks of the world before he thinks of himself. A man that feels that despite his amazing power noone is beneath him. His is a shining light of hope for a better tommorow. He is SUPERMAN
@@aniruddhmurthy6970 he's smarter and able to not get horribly injured in a fight with superman because he thinks things through. Superman's technically just an alien from another planet, that's it. If you need assurance watch batman v superman or if you think the movie is bad, look at the comics
Say all you want about Superman, but he actually deserves to be in number one, and I’m a Spiderman fan. He’s literally the definitive superhero. His costume is like a superhero template that you start off with.
Danno McGarrett Well if you look at the Comics superman is way smarter in every way possible and has beaten Batman more times than Batman had beaten Superman. Of course the list is all subjective but superman is the most iconic hero and paved the way for everybody else. That character is what it Truely means to be a superhero. The top 3 are not debatable in my opinion.
Thanks for putting it in a way that I could understand. If you want good Superman stories I would recommend stuff like All Star Superman, Red Son, Brainiac, The Death of Superman and most of the John Byrne stuff,those are great Superman stories that any one should read and could get them into Superman.
This is rubbish. Batman is the most realistic and skilled superhero with comic books 10 times better than Superman. There's no way he should be behind Superman
Okay I'm a Batman fan too, but cmon realistic? He's a billionaire who had his parents killed, so he decided to become crazy skilled, until he's peak human ability, and then goes out at night fighting against super powered people. As a person he runs a billion dollar company, sleeps with tons of women, and has a butler. His arch nemesis is a clown and yeah he's CRAZY realistic
Ivan Zermeno most iconic - in other words most overrated AND overpowered. why do you think he is number one on most 'top superheroes' list? exactly. what did you mean by batman being overpowered 'cause last time i checked superman sneezed a galaxy to it's destruction and batman punched a guy, what? is punching a guy make you overpowered and overrated?!
For all of the people debating that Superman shouldn't be on top, one question: Why do you think we call them superheroes? You can call them other things: vigilantes, costumed crime-fighters, just plain heroes, or any combination of those words. Why "super" heroes? Because of "Super"man, the hero who every single other superhero has used some element of (the costume, the tragic backstory, the idea of a secret identity, the rule of no killing, etc) ever since his debut. I'm not saying he's a BETTER CHARACTER than some of his peers, like Batman and Spider-Man, but he is the original. The only characters predating him that he's comparable to are mythological figures (whether they historically existed or not) like the Olympian gods, demigods like Achilles, Perseus, and Hercules, and biblical figures like Samson, Moses, and Jesus. For all intents and purposes, he is the original superhero, and probably the most important.
Melbin Binu And? They made DETECTIVE comics. Action Comics #1, the first appearance of Superman, was the first superhero comic. And even if it wasn't, can you name a superhero that predates Superman that gained any popularity even comparable to Superman? Even if he wasn't the first, he's still the archetype for every hero after him.
BlueScarabGuy my point is that there have been heroes older than superman who influenced the creation of superman. wait a minute let me do some research
BlueScarabGuy just did research there have been heroes they were as powerfull as gods or were gods, superman was one of the first to be shown with powers that weak. *not saying superman is weak saying that compared to previous heroes he was not as 'godly'
Melbin Binu and like I said in my original comment, the only characters somewhat comparable to Superman that predate him are mythological and biblical heroes, demigods, and deities. Since the term "superhero" was coined by and for comic books, Superman is still the first official superhero, because he's the first comic book superhero.
My Top : 1. Superman 2. Batman 3. Spider-Man 4. Wolverine 5. Hulk 6. Iron man 7. Captain America 8. Wonder Woman 9. Thor 10. Green Lantern 11. Flash 12. Robin 13. Professor X 14. Jean Grey 15. Deadpool 16. Daredevil 17. Ant-Man 18. Green Arrow 19. Aquaman 20. Supergirl
Reading most of the comments people left I can't seem to comprehend why are people so pissed that Superman got number one. No other comic book character in history deserves that spot more then him. He is the blueprint, the patriarch, the original. He is the one that started the whole comic book hero trend if I'm not mistaken. You people may not like him but you can't deny that he set the foundation for your Batmans, Iron Mans, Hulks, Captain Americas, hell even Spiderman. Sometimes you have to give the devil his due.
I think green arrow should have been in the top 20 he has a huge backstory about why he does the stuff he does all his enemies are bad he has huge allies like batman and the black canary and he fights for the good of star city even when his morals are not always okay with that
Superman villains are actually really awesome too, Zod is a krytponian batman except he kills, Doomsday is the one who can dish out the heavy hits not too mention he has to fight Braniac! But at the end of the day Batman villains are better, The Joker is possibly one of the best villains in comic history and his other villains are classic.
Congratulations and Kudos to IGN!!! Perfect Ranking!!! Very Fitting, Realistic, Accurate, Fair, and Unbiased! Keep it up and more power IGN!!! Your THE BEST!!! And Superman is Always a Winner! A Champion! The KING OF KINGS OF SUPER HEROES OF ALL TIME!!! Superman is ALWAYS at NO.1!!! So LET THE TEARS DROP! THE HEART'S BREAK!!! AND THE BUTT HURT RAIN!!! LOL :- )
superman sucks, hes so OVERRATED and OVERPOWERED. He's too GOOD. there is no bad side on him. An overpowered, super rightous truthfull hero is a LAME hero. GODDAMIT IM SO PISSED WHY SUPERMAN??? HES BASICALLY JOHN CENA
+ryanthaiable This is what comes of a spoiled generation that has experienced no trouble of war or death: people who actually prefer evil characters over good ones.
+ryanthaiable It's not just that. Superman is absolute power without absolute corruption. Even though he is all powerful and could easily do whatever he wants, he still does what is right. I guess you can say that about any hero but I think this especially works with Superman because the amount of power he has is unlimited. He could destroy our entire galaxy if he really wanted to and end up conquering every planet in our solar system, yet he still sticks around and wastes his power on Earth and the people living on it. Why? Because that's who Superman is. If someone with absolute power can still be pure of heart then there is no limit to the greatness that you can do. Thats why Superman is #1. (Atleast to me)
Boy, the Death of Superman really screwed things up in the DCU. Hal Jordan goes nutzo, Bruce Wayne gets paralyzed. "Jesus, guys, I can't leave you alone for TEN MINUTES!"
Also, once again, James Gordon first appeared in Detective Comics #27, not #47. Wally West didn't first appear in Flash #110, he first appeared in Showcase #4
My top 10 1 Superman 2 The Flash (Barry Allen) 3 The Hulk 4 Thor 5 Spider-Man 6 Batman 7 Wolverine 8 Green Lantern (John Stuart) 9 Deadpool 10 Martian Manhunter
Batman is my favorite DC hero but I still respect Superman so I understand why he's number 1 on the list.
as a diehard batman fan, superman should be number 1. he is the foundation of everything that we hold dear in comics today. Yes, after so many years, there may be more well-written characters, and more interesting ones, but he was and always will be the first of them all, that's why he deserves #1
Dr occult debuted 4 years before superman. Ironically creates by the same people.
Crimson Head98 He did however fit very well into that crime-noir theme of that time, superman is the universial symbol for comics, he's been around and popular ever since his creation
DrunkenLegend1100 agree 100%
***** agreed
For the “top 100 superheroes” list, they seem to be weighing more than just “been around longest” or “most iconic” or “original.” Being more well written and more interesting are pretty dang important, lol. I’ve always disliked Superman and found him really boring and bland. Strongly disagree that he took the top slot.
I'm a casual batman fan but how is commissioner Gordon a superhero?
ikr, Gordon over the other 80 or super heroes? pfft
Define "superhero?" A normal, highly intelligent man, with no inherent metaphysical or supernatural powers, fights crime. Am I describing Jim Gordon? Batman? Both?
+Sunset Rider Jim Gordon is just a hero. Batman is a human with superior intelligence, and is in perfect shape. Just like Captain America, who doesn't have super powers. Jim Gordon is an average caught in extreme circumstances, whereas bats is at the peak of human ability.
+James “Beifong” Moulin-Gower Cap is still considered as a superhuman cuz he's twice as strong and fast as any other human
Pepe! At The Disco nope he's at the peak of human
Superman and Batman are the best. Easily.
I'm loving how many people have got Batman as number 1 on their lists. Couldn't agree with them more!
Batmans overrated
I'll give it a tie between batman and spiderman
Shazam is so underrated
So is beast boy
And Arm-Fall-Off-Boy
+FamousFive57039 lol

haters can hate all they want superman will always be no.1
You're right, he'll always be called number one. Out of nostalgia and what not. No matter how boring, shallow, unpopular and stupid his character becomes
he won't but I don't disagree with it
+jeremy collard Did you seriously call Superman shallow and stupid?
I hate superman
But I always think superman should be superman
He's the Micheal Jordan of superheroes
"Beyond!" happy that Dick Grayson made it up so high. He's been my favorite hero for years
I don't care what anyone says batman should have beat superman
Batman himself said that Superman can squash him like a Bug
Superman overpowered every comic universe, we want normal human not from other planet creatures..
I'm a Batman fan myself but I do agree that Superman is the greatest superhero. Without his creation, we wouldn't have Batman and almost if not all of comic book superheroes.

Superman is the Best!
I like both, but I grew up DC, and after looking over hero's and villains in both, DC has way better hero's. Marvel just has knock offs, that make really good movies, with the right $$$
+Sean Legghette Thats funny, because Micah's goddamn right.

Superman isn't Boring, just because he can stop bullets with eye doesn't mean he is Boring. He never faces normal thugs like Batman does. He faces Doomsday, Darkseid, Brainiac, etc.
Batman is a Great Character, but his comics has Plot Induced Stupidity, and he is a Dark Character, Ego and Attitude, thinks that he can beat any one and shit.
Batman himself has claimed that Superman can Crush him any time he wants, but Superman is a Good guy from inside.
Superman > Batman any day *IMO*
My top 5:
1) Spider-Man
2) Batman
3) Wolverine
4) Rorschach
5) Iron Man
Seriously? James Gordon is in the top 20 of all superheroes.....That makes no sense at all.
It's not top 100 comic SUPER heroes it's top 100 Comic Heroes.
But even still James Gordon beat out several far better heroes.
urquijom1 and it says top 100 SUPER heroes.
Ikr AND BEAST BOY WASNT EVEN ON THE LIST WHERE ARE REAL COMIC BOOK FANS WHEN YS NEED EM
What!?! Can we all just ban together & get Batman to the top where he belongs?
Awesome and great top 100 list guys :P. my top 5 would have to be. (in no order)
DC's Green Lantern. (John Stewart)
Marvel's Wolverine.
Marvel's Daredevil.
IDW's Donatello. (tmnt)
DC's Zatanna.
All of these characters were chosen based on their comic book origins. Movies and tv shows weren't really a factor here, and the movies are often times vastly different from their source. Making a list on comic book characters because you watched their movies isn't a comic book list, it's a 'comic-book character MOVIE' list. I love this list because they included (in the 100) all the best ones, and tried to be as unbiased as possible. Marvel or DC they spoke about each character as something awesome, interesting and 'you should read it' And superman is number one because he was the first character, he started everything we love today about comics. Go read Kingdom Come.
Great List guys :)
I knew Superman would be #1 and that's good because he basically started the "Super Hero" name. Also Spiderman is my fav :D
People commenting about their own top 10 and I'm here like "lol who asked for these?"
Lol. Ikr!
well i have no problem with it. it's interesting to see other people's opinion. my personal favorite superhero is daredevil. there's nothing wrong with that is there? we all have different opinions just saying :)
polygonz you don't get it...
i'm just saying what i think. like what you're doing :)
polygonz I don't care, what youre saying is...insignificant
Wally West is my all time favorite hero and Hal Jordan is a close second so I love that they were both in the top 10
IGN u guys r the best and i'm not saying dis just because i'm a superman fan but your list makes speaks to my thoughts 100%
Happy to see Daredevil so high up. I love him.
Rorshach was a surprise to me. I just finished Watchmen for school yesterday
This list is the one time I'll agree with IGN
The comment section is more accurate than the video
Yes that's it...no matters with others but Spider-Man , Batman, Superman will be always the best of all time
Perfect Ranking IGN! Superman is The King of Kings of Superheroes! Hes no.1! Hes a Winner a Champion! No one can beat him! And hes my favorite superhero of All Time! Specially The Christopher Reeve Superman version.
Died to doomsday and batman beat him with a rock so yeah
+Abdu Abdi wonder woman's weakness is also a rock
+andrew simpson Have u heard of Superman Prime 1 mill?
My top 3 would be
3) Iron man
2) Batman
1)Spiderman
I put spiderman as number one because he is such a relatable character, I grew up with him as a child and his powers are awesome!
Spiderman isn't relatable at all
The Shadow how
Ipwnnoobs83 No superhero is relatable. I can’t relate to a guy who got bit by a radioactive spider and got spider powers anymore than I can relate to a indestructible alien for space. As it’s all subjective you have to narrow it down to cultural impact and superman obviously wins that.

Batman is my favorite hero but Superman is slightly better because of how DC comics uses the two. Superman is the best and perfect hero whereas Batman is the most impressive because he does more than any other hero with no power.
Superman should for sure be #1, but they did a pretty awful job of explaining why he’s #1.
Batman is number 1 in my book
Batman is #1 !!!!!! How many quailty villians does superman have ?
Totally agree
I was shocked to see bats at #2
Super man isn't great

Aquaman should have been some where in here
He was #52 are u kidding me and beast boy wasnt even on the list
u right
boy I wonder who'll be number one? *looks at shirt* *looks at statue*

Hell yes Wonder Woman! Amazon Princess, 50% god, 100% awesome!
I completely agree with the top 3 on this list, and I was so happy to see Rorschach on the list even if he is an anti-hero
Daredevil is my favorite
Batman is the best
Boom Nation exactly
LOL James Gordon is top 20? And Batgirl beats Catwoman?
Kal El Catwoman was originally a villain so she’s lucky she’s even on the list

+emilio knittel nah, i think were all mad because #19 on this list is Commissioner Gordon. FRIKIN GORDON
Super man deserved to be number 1 on this list. Why?
Because he represents everything a person should and could be. Not an indestructible alien, no, but a person that Always does what's right and thinks of the world before he thinks of himself. A man that feels that despite his amazing power noone is beneath him. His is a shining light of hope for a better tommorow. He is SUPERMAN

In what ways is he better ?
@@aniruddhmurthy6970 he's smarter and able to not get horribly injured in a fight with superman because he thinks things through. Superman's technically just an alien from another planet, that's it. If you need assurance watch batman v superman or if you think the movie is bad, look at the comics

Lil Magnet noooo
I think iron man belonged in da top 10, also i think batman should have been 1st and spiderman 2nd
Thanks for putting it in a way that I could understand.
If you want good Superman stories I would recommend stuff like All Star Superman, Red Son, Brainiac, The Death of Superman and most of the John Byrne stuff,those are great Superman stories that any one should read and could get them into Superman.
Batman should be #1
come on dose super man all ways have to win
This is rubbish. Batman is the most realistic and skilled superhero with comic books 10 times better than Superman. There's no way he should be behind Superman
+Shourya Sodhani Naah Superman is waaay better (but I do love Batman)
Okay I'm a Batman fan too, but cmon realistic? He's a billionaire who had his parents killed, so he decided to become crazy skilled, until he's peak human ability, and then goes out at night fighting against super powered people. As a person he runs a billion dollar company, sleeps with tons of women, and has a butler. His arch nemesis is a clown and yeah he's CRAZY realistic
My top 5 are
5)Iron Man
4)Captain America
3)Rick Grimes
2)Spiderman
1)Batman
P.S Superman is SO overated
Yeah he is.
Please, if anyone is overrated and powered its the bat.
Says Superman is overrated, number 1 hero on their list is the most overrated hero of all time.
Ivan Zermeno actually superman is the most overrated go do your research
Ivan Zermeno most iconic - in other words most overrated AND overpowered. why do you think he is number one on most 'top superheroes' list? exactly. what did you mean by batman being overpowered 'cause last time i checked superman sneezed a galaxy to it's destruction and batman punched a guy, what? is punching a guy make you overpowered and overrated?!

*BlueScarabGuy* actuallt superman was no the first ever 'super'hero. dc had been in business before superman

And even if it wasn't, can you name a superhero that predates Superman that gained any popularity even comparable to Superman?

Melbin Binu and like I said in my original comment, the only characters somewhat comparable to Superman that predate him are mythological and biblical heroes, demigods, and deities. Since the term "superhero" was coined by and for comic books, Superman is still the first official superhero, because he's the first comic book superhero.

Reading most of the comments people left I can't seem to comprehend why are people so pissed that Superman got number one. No other comic book character in history deserves that spot more then him. He is the blueprint, the patriarch, the original. He is the one that started the whole comic book hero trend if I'm not mistaken. You people may not like him but you can't deny that he set the foundation for your Batmans, Iron Mans, Hulks, Captain Americas, hell even Spiderman. Sometimes you have to give the devil his due.
I think green arrow should have been in the top 20 he has a huge backstory about why he does the stuff he does all his enemies are bad he has huge allies like batman and the black canary and he fights for the good of star city even when his morals are not always okay with that
Dc is better than marvel ! They have the dark knight, the man of steel, the Wonder woman and the fatser being in the universe : Flash !
Night wing not on the list😠
um sir he was number 11
Superman villains are actually really awesome too, Zod is a krytponian batman except he kills, Doomsday is the one who can dish out the heavy hits not too mention he has to fight Braniac! But at the end of the day Batman villains are better, The Joker is possibly one of the best villains in comic history and his other villains are classic.
Congratulations and Kudos to IGN!!! Perfect Ranking!!! Very Fitting, Realistic, Accurate, Fair, and Unbiased! Keep it up and more power IGN!!! Your THE BEST!!! And Superman is Always a Winner! A Champion! The KING OF KINGS OF SUPER HEROES OF ALL TIME!!! Superman is ALWAYS at NO.1!!! So LET THE TEARS DROP! THE HEART'S BREAK!!! AND THE BUTT HURT RAIN!!! LOL :- )
This is why marvel is better. The only thing dc has is batman and superman.
NOT TRUE DC HAS FLASH WONDERWOMAN AND MORE
Russell Loncon. They are not as famous
immortalbeast84 lol they really are flash has his own tv show right now
Evan Levy. Shield has there own tv show lol.
shield is pre-marvel not as cool
also what good things does marvel have besides thor spiderman and ironman
superman sucks, hes so OVERRATED and OVERPOWERED. He's too GOOD. there is no bad side on him. An overpowered, super rightous truthfull hero is a LAME hero. GODDAMIT IM SO PISSED WHY SUPERMAN??? HES BASICALLY JOHN CENA
Flash or lantern could kill him
+ryanthaiable This is what comes of a spoiled generation that has experienced no trouble of war or death: people who actually prefer evil characters over good ones.
Gonzales John anti heroes and some villains are the best, the classic heroes are old and not interesting
When superman pin john cena , he kick out of 2!!!
+ryanthaiable It's not just that. Superman is absolute power without absolute corruption. Even though he is all powerful and could easily do whatever he wants, he still does what is right. I guess you can say that about any hero but I think this especially works with Superman because the amount of power he has is unlimited. He could destroy our entire galaxy if he really wanted to and end up conquering every planet in our solar system, yet he still sticks around and wastes his power on Earth and the people living on it. Why? Because that's who Superman is. If someone with absolute power can still be pure of heart then there is no limit to the greatness that you can do. Thats why Superman is #1. (Atleast to me)
No problem.
And thanks for the suggestions. I'll check them out as soon as I can.
Everyone complaining about Batman, Gordon, Superman etc. But I’m just happy that the gave Daredevil the respect he deserves
Pretty good list I couldnt even argue.

Boy, the Death of Superman really screwed things up in the DCU. Hal Jordan goes nutzo, Bruce Wayne gets paralyzed.
"Jesus, guys, I can't leave you alone for TEN MINUTES!"
Also, once again, James Gordon first appeared in Detective Comics #27, not #47. Wally West didn't first appear in Flash #110, he first appeared in Showcase #4
