For example, the first coin in the series was dedicated to the first Action Comic™ and the third issue to the first Superman Comic™.First editions are incredibly rare and incredibly valuable. This silver coin is the fifth release in the series. ✔ The first issue of Batman™ And the fifth issue of the series is all about the very first Batman Comic™. Batman™, whose real name is Bruce Wayne, is one of the most famous superheroes of all. He stands out because of his bat-superhero suit. He always tries to keep his identity secret and lives the life of a rich bachelor. But what hardly anyone knows is that he has a dual identity as a superhero and sees it as his job to protect the residents of Gotham City™. Unlike other superheroes, such as Superman™, Batman™ does not have any superpowers. He is very intelligent and very wealthy, which he uses to his advantage. As a young boy, he saw his parents murdered. This made him very strong and from this he draws the strength and motivation to fight against evil. That's what Batman™ is all about.
