Batman, Master of Timing!

I was inspired by this classic panel of The Batman's display of keen and cunning strategy and expert, unparallelled tactical skills...
Batman #1 panel
Panel from Batman #1 (Spring 1940), written by Bill Finger,
art by Bob Kane and Jerry Robinson


...to create the following comic strip, which I call

Batman: Master of Timing!

  2. There is nothing I genuinely love more than comedy that commits to an extended silence as the joke. Wonderful.

  6. I bet young Dick Grayson is one of these kids who starts singing along with the music on the radio a full measure before the chorus actually starts.

  13. This was fantastic, but it does leave me wondering why Bruce can't keep his pipe lit. It looks like he went through an entire box of matches in a single evening.

  18. I'm surprised they're not bothered by the fact that Bruce's hair is on fire. That must hurt!

    Or is Bruce wearing a smoking jacket in those panels? ;-)

    ........

    The bartender says, "Sure thing, but why the big pause there?"

    The bear says, "I don't know, I've had them all my life."

  20. Say, Bruce. Would you care for a little smoking jacket with that pocket hankie?

    Funny stuff, Bully!
