In late 1939, it appeared that pulp hero the Black Bat would be heading to comic books, and there's a glimpse of that in Exciting Comics 1. Batman sponsored
\nAs a glimpse at the Ned Pines Standard\/Better\/Nedor line that could have been, Exciting Comics #1 is quite a bit more important than many collectors realize. The first issue of the third comic book series that Pines launched seemed to indicate that he would use this title to debut some of his pulp characters into comic books.
This would all likely mean that handling the Black Bat v Batman issue was one of his first tasks upon returning — likely armed with the understanding that his former associates at Standard were preparing to launch comic book versions of their major heroes.\nTaking Bill Finger's account of this matter at face value, the timeline suggests that the production of Exciting Comics #1 was a bit of legal brinksmanship on the part of Pines in his conflict with DC Comics.
