Batman: The Brave and the Bold Team-ups Showcase Volume 2

This great collection of Batman Brave and the Bold stories I bought at the Comic Swap downtown. This book is representative of the comics produced during the Bronze Age. As for information technology, Batman seems to use information technology when he needs to and does not possess any great pieces of information technology himself. He does not reference a Batcomputer but rather makes use of the technology made available to him through the Gotham City Police Department or a movie set's walkie-talkies. Here are the information technology moments from the book:

Pg. 45 - Batman makes use of the department's computer to investigate a plot and mentions that a teletype inquiry on the suspect should be made.

Pg 57. - You Only Die Twice - Batman's supposed death is headline news for a newspaper

Pg. 81 - books are still important in the future

Pg. 112 - Batman distributes walkie-talkies for communication purposes

Pg. 163 - Batman and Robin communicate with wireless radio watches

Pg. 172 - Batman appears on TV to negotiate with a youth group's demands

Pg. 304 - Batman is in a wheel chair and instructs a team using radio communications and telephone calls

Pg. 372 - a pure information technology storyline where Batman does not use any information technology but his enemy is pure information technology
