Biography:
Rainbow Batman is a distinctive variation of Batman that debuted in Detective Comics #241 in 1957.
The unusual costume change wasn't a fashion statement. Instead, Batman wore a different brightly colored suit each night to draw the attention of criminals. The specific story saw Batman trying to distract the press from suspecting Robin, who had been injured and needed to lay low, from also being Batman's sidekick.
While initially appearing comedic, the story's logic within the narrative provided a tactical reason for the vibrant disguise. The Rainbow Batman has since become a memorable, if somewhat controversial, part of Batman's history, often seen as a symbol of the Silver Age's lighter and more imaginative approach to superhero storytelling.
He's typically depicted as a one-off anomaly in the Batman canon and serves as a fun contrast to the character's traditionally dark and brooding persona.
