Why Does Batman Have A Giant Penny?

from Bros Foes and Heroes

Ever looked around the Batcave and wondered why on earth Batman keeps a giant, multi-ton copper coin just sitting next to the Batmobile? This week on Bros, Foes, and Heroes, Zach and Mike dive into the wonderfully ridiculous Silver Age origins of one of Gotham’s most famous trophies. Tune in as we break down World’s Finest Comics Issue 30 (1947) to meet Joe Coyne. The petty paper-boy turned "Penny Plunderer" and discover how a roll of pennies, some "five-minute crafts" MacGyvering, and a millionaire's houseboat gave birth to an iconic piece of Bat-history. #batman #dccomics #dc #batcave Thank you to our sponsors!
