Batman and Jimmy Olsen



Ah, the Silver Age - when even supporting characters could hold their own series. I have to admit that most of the reason I identified with Superman's Pal was that I too was a goofy freckled redheaded kid. I did like that he was an amateur master of disguises and his stories were usually more about humorous situations than any real peril.

You may not remember - but at one point Jimmy was among the few who knew Bruce Wayne was Batman.

That's what he was there for. But DC made the mistake of letting him grow up so a lot of kids couldn't relate to him anymore. We had to read Superboy instead.
