Citizen Wayne, by popular demand
Several people expressed interest in seeing a sample of the Elseworlds story "Citizen Wayne", set in the 30's, so:
Bruce Wayne is the owner of a crusading newspaper. His employee Vicki Vale has just told him that someone speculated that he might be the Batman.
(Bruce's father was still killed when Bruce was a child, but his mother lived.)
As a bonus, here are a few Batman- or superhero-themed cartoons gleaned from different places.
I think this one was in some comic book publication in '88 or '89. Or it could have been in my college newspaper. I just found the clipping in a box from that era recently.
This one came from and old humor book called For Men Only.
