Mr. Freeze may have been one of the worst-portrayed bad guys in a Batman movie ever, but the value of this under-rated key issue has gone up and up in recent years.
It's a notoriously tough all-white cover which usually turns up stained pale brown by dust or sun shadowing. It's very hard to find in 6.0 or nicer.

There is huge interest in female heroes and villains in the DC Universe. Bat-Woman, Poison Ivy, of course Harley Quinn... and Bat-Girl.
The "big" Bat-Girl was to appear in Detective Comics #359, Barbara Gordon, but Betty Kane was the original. Her first appearance is heating up.

It seems weird that a character as important as the Penguin could fall into obscurity, but this issue is a landmark return for Oswald Cobblepot.
Of course, there would be many more Batman vs Penguin comics to come.
Typical examples turn up in GD-VG, and the book is very scarce in VF or nicer.
Batman #156
Record Sale: $2,030

Yet another big first (re-)appearance issue, The Riddler joined the Penguin as a major returning anti-hero long lost in the Golden Age.
The all-pink cover of this Batman comic is tough to find without creasing.
Batman #172
Record Sale: $445
Minimum Value: $10
Batman #175
Record Sale: $2,880
Minimum Value: $10
Batman #180
Record Sale: $1,920
Minimum Value: $10
Poison Ivy is one of the hottest super-villains around.
This landmark Batman comic book is really hot in the market right now. It's tough to find without creasing on the cherry-red cover, but the big news on this book is that it often turns up incomplete due to the poster in the center.
Without the poster, the book is worth about one-third the price of a complete book. The difference is greater at higher grade levels.
Batman #182
Record Sale: $3,590
Minimum Value: $10
Batman #183
Record Sale: $3,720
Minimum Value: $10
Batman #188
Record Sale: $2,950
Minimum Value: $20
The last big issue in this run is the return of The Scarecrow, one of the most scary Batman villains. It's also among the more valuable Batman Scarcrow comic books.
The bottle-green front cover is really tough to find in high grade on this Batman comic. Values have increased lately and it's a good time to sell.
Batman #190
Classic Penguin cover
Record Sale: $7,800
Minimum Value: $20
Batman #191
Record Sale: $3,600
Minimum Value: $10
Batman #196

Minimum Value: $10
Batman #199
Record Sale: $2,400
Minimum Value: $10
Batman #200
Record Sale: $5,280
Minimum Value: $10
Surprisingly for such a common issue, this book is hard to find in high grade.
The predominantly white background to the cover is similar to Batman comic #121 and #155, in that it's hard to find in pure white without dust and sun damage.
