In "Three Crimes Against Batman," a cunning criminal scientist turns the tables on the Dynamic Duo by reverse-engineering Batman’s own technology—the Flying Eye—using X-ray vision to build a weaponized copy designed to outmaneuver the Dark Knight. Written by Edmond Hamilton and brought to life with sharp, dynamic art by Dick Sprang and Charles Paris, this 1957 classic sees Batman and Robin unaware of the mechanical threat closing in. The cover by Sheldon Moldoff and Charles Paris captures the tension with a striking, shadowed image of the Bat-symbol under siege.
