But let's be very clear--his Batman was hardcore.
Batman has managed to worm his way into the lair of Conway Treach, a scum who is killing off wealthy Gotham gamblers, yet making their deaths appear to be irrefutable suicides...
Anyway, it turns out that Batman had deduced that Treach's gun was rigged, with a "trick cylinder-latch" that blocked the firing pin when Treach used it, so he was never in danger. So neither one of them was really in danger of buying the farm during Russian roulette.
Still, Frank Robbins' Batman? Straight baller, is all I'm saying.
Detective Comics #426 (1972) was written, drawn and inked by Frank Robbins.
