If you're a fan of Batman like I am, it's fun to read the collection of his first appearance in Detective Comics #27 in May 1939 and then his own comic book soon after. The first appearance of Robin happened in March 1940, in Detective Comics 38, and BOTH are included in the The Batman Chronicles Vol. 1 trade paperback. 
Not only Batman and Robin, but the collection from the 1930s and 40s includes the first appearances of characters like Catwoman, Hugo Strange, and the Joker! The co-creators who wrote and illustrated Batman of the 30s and 40s are Bob Kane and Bill Finger.
In the early Batman stories, he didn't have an issue with throwing criminals and killers off of buildings. He later took on the "do not kill" code.
This is a great collection of the very first Batman stories and highly recommended!!
