Batman #63 (December 1950) features an outlandish new rogue for Batman’s gallery: Killer Moth. Killer Moth is an ex-convict who somehow works himself into high society as “Cameron van Cleer”. He then proceeds to develop his villainous alter-ego as a counterpoint to Batman, complete with a garish costume and a Moth Car. Cameron even makes friends with Bruce Wayne – though they do not discover each other’s alter ego.
