The Bat-Man was introduced in Detective Comics 27 (May 1939) without an origin. The origin was finally seen as two page introduction to the story in Detective 33 (November 1939)- "The Batman Wars Against the Dirigible of Doom". The two pages were reprinted in Batman 1 (Spring 1940) with an illustration from the first page of the story in Detective 34 replacing the dirigible. The first panel's caption has been slightly changed. This is the version usually reprinted.
