10 Insane Batman Mysteries That Kept Fans Guessing

Batman works best when he has a mystery to solve. That should be a given, really, seeing as how the World's Greatest Detective originated in the pages of Detective Comics some eighty years ago, but not every Batman comic has managed to weave a particular mystery.
