Marshall Rogers tegnede Batman-tegneserien i “den signifikante periode 1977 og ´78”. New York Times sammenfatter Rogers bedrift således: “Mr. Rogers’s work with the writer Steve Englehart on just six issues of Detective Comics was important in redefining Batman, returning him to his pulp roots as an urban vigilante and helping shake off the camp elements popularized by the Adam West television series a decade earlier. These “Dark Detective” stories, as they came to be known, laid the blueprint and set the tone for decades of future Batman stories.” Nu er han ikke mere. Hvil i fred.
