It's bugging me not knowing.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

I think it was Two-face.

 

[8bit]

In the Golden age, it was taken from Joe Coyne, the "Penny Plunderer", a criminal obsessed with pennies. I think it's been retconned to be Two-Face these days though.

In the animated series Two Face ties Batman to it and flips the coin to determine whether he lives or dies.

 

[Penguin]

Yeah, the origin of the Penny is explained in "Almost Got "Em" in The Animated Series. Where Two-Face tells his tale.

"Almost Got "Em" in The Animated Series.

'Then I hit him with a rock!'

"So Harvey, what happened to the giant penny?"
"They actually let him keep it!"

Almost Got 'Em...I love that episode.

 

[Great Wasabi Man]

Worlds Finest #30....Batman and Robin confront Joe Coyne, the “Penny Plunderer,” at a coin show, and acquire the giant 1947 penny that decorates the Batcave.

Yet hasn't DC restarted thier histroy many times already?

 

[human5892]

Hahaha..."Let's lam!"

 

[ConfusingJazz]

So, instead of a the Penny Robber stealing, Batman stole a giant ass penny?

 

[human5892]

So, instead of a the Penny Robber stealing, Batman stole a giant ass penny?

I read that as, "giant ass-penny," which momentarily confused me as I didn't know why you were suddenly referencing an Upright Citizen's Brigade sketch.

 

[Prince of Space]

Okay, so where'd the T. Rex come from?
