Perhaps opine that Batman fans are desperate for any newsworthiness about the upcoming picture show , Reeves took to Twitter with what at first seems like an innocent happy birthday to Batman . Detective Comics Issue # 27 , the first canonical appearance of Batman , was published 80 yr , and Reeves ' photo shows his own personal copy of the comic that started it all . However , face in the desktop and you ’ll see something much more intriguing : what come out to be a written matter of the hand forThe Batman , with a logo that - though out of focus - look on the button like the original interpretation of theBatmancomics logo .
The position of that logo in the background is obviously not inadvertent , but does this mean value thatThe Batmanwill actually return to using that classic chunky Bat - symbolic representation , or is it just a procurator ? The logotype was designed by Jerry Robinson in 1940 and first visit on the cover ofBatman # 1 , after the fiber ’s popularity inDetective Comicshad earned him his own laughable book series .
