2. The Outsider

Batman comics from the ’60s were so rad.

Seriously, the first couple of Batman Showcase volumes are a good time if you've never read them. The thing is, they were mostly about trying to get the comics as close to the ’66 TV show as possible. So Aunt Harriet had to be added. And to do that, Alfred needed to go. So he was crushed by a rock. It was a big rock.

But around the same time, a mysterious new foe who called himself The Outsider appeared. You see, Alfred's body was stolen by a scientist who tried to revive him, but he only succeeded in turning him into the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man's tumor-riddled cousin. The Outsider had no memory of being Alfred. He was also evil, so he decided to kill Batman, but Batman made him normal again, and everyone forgot this ever happened. But I remember.

Because those comics were great.
