Noir Thriller That May Have Been The Inspiration For Batman
This 1930 noir thriller called The Bat Whispers stars a crime fighting character that looks an awful lot like Batman.
Maybe this is what Bruce's father was up to before he was gunned down in a dark alley?
I wouldn't be surprised if The Bat Whispers inspired the creation of Batman, as it predates Batman's first comic book appearance by nine years, but I bet the Bat in this movie doesn't have a sweet utility belt and acrobatic Boy Wonder sidekick!
