From Adventure Comics 462 in 1979.
This is the death of Bruce Wayne. Bruce looks like he is in his 60s here. Dick is still Robin but is all grown up now, and his biological daughter Helena is the Huntress.
Bruce comes out of a year long retirement one year after Selina his wife was shot and killed.
If this issue isn't deserving of the title "Manly Tears", I don't know what is...
The comic is 68 pages, but the Batman part is just the beginning.
Jensen managed to defeat the combined power of Green Lantern and Dr. Fate quite easily.
Also instead of a Justice League there is only the Justice Society.

What was the context of Selina's death besides a gunshot wound? I'm surprised that Bruce didn't apeshit over "MY PARENTS AND WIFE ARE DEEEEEEAD."
lol at Dick's first thought being Helena wants to be Batman. "But I would fill the briefs so much better!"
