Batman #37

In "Calling Dr. Batman!" from Batman #37 (1946), a medical experiment goes awry when Dr. King's new radiotherapy machine cures patient Jerry Marshall—only to unleash an unsettling side effect on hospital worker Lou Darrell, whose condition takes a strange and troubling turn.

In "Hollywood Hoax!" from Batman #37 (1946), the Caped Crusader and his young partner Robin find themselves in the midst of a cinematic caper when a gang of criminals sets their sights on stealing an unreleased film titled "Heart's Desire" from the set of "Crime Doesn't Pay." With the spotlight on the production, Batman must outwit the thieves before the movie—and the truth—goes up in flames.

In "The Joker Follows Suit!", the Clown Prince of Crime unleashes a twisted plan that turns Batman’s own symbols—his Bat-Signal, Batmobile, and Batplane—into tools of chaos, daring the Dark Knight to outwit a foe who’s playing by his own rules. The story pits Batman against a villain who’s not just mocking his legacy, but weaponizing it, in a game where the stakes are as high as the stakes are absurd.
