While Gotham City is an integral part of the Batman mythos, Batman is an international hero, and there are plenty of stories that take Batman out of the grim confines of his home city and out into a wider world. This week, we read three such stories: one a tour of the great cities of Europe with the Joker by Batman's side, one a tale of Batman's visit to his ancestral lands of Scotland, and a Bronze Age tale that stretches across much of the world and shows just how much a character can change from his first appearance to a slightly later one and how much he can turn back later.

Batman: Europa # 1-4

Batman: The Scottish Connection

The Lazarus Affair (Batman V.1 # 332-335)
