Golden Age Batman on the other hand is largely forgotten. Yes, he appeared in the Generations Shattered one-shot a few years back. Zero Year took some inspiration from those early stories (with the purple gloves in particular, as well as Dr. Death). The upcoming Caped Crusader cartoon seems to have gone with a very Golden Age design for the suit. But by and large, Year One has dominated people's perceptions of early Batman, and almost completely supplanted the actual early Golden Age stories.
