Really? I don't know the Batman comics all that well, myself.

More than once they alluded to the Great Sleuth when Batman would do his criminal deductions based on tiny bits of evidence left at the scene.

Batman is owned by DC - aka "Detective Comics" from the 30s (they specialized in hardboiled crime stories while Marvel had Superman and other superheroes going on).

And I once had the great good fortune to meet a 70something Bob Kane in the late 80s at a Hollywood party - the man who'd created Batman.

Squeee! I once saw Stan Lee eating breakfast (I was at the hotel next door to a comicon)....

While I know who belongs to DC and who belongs to Marvel, I never understood that distinction. Which is embarrassing since I do scholarly work on comics (obviously not these ones, of course). Thanks for teaching me something so useful for IRL as well as fanlife
