Fun Facts
-Batman #428 was released in the month of December 35 years ago and the following year Tim Drake unofficially debuted as Robin (Batman #442).
-This issue is the final appearance of Barbara Gordon under her regular name. From this point forward (Suicide Squad v1 #23), she begins operating under the name Oracle.
-Joker's Body Count = 5.
-At the end of Batman #429, editor Dennis O'Neil gives the final results of the votes for the decision of Robin's outcome in the story. The votes for Robin dying exceeded the ones for keeping him alive by 72. Only 15 minutes before the survey ended, Jason's votes for him living were up by 38 votes. This might confirm the rumors about a single person who voted for Jason to die more than 100 times by programming his home computer to dial the Joker succeeds number every 90 seconds for eight hours.
