Batman #77

In "The Crime Predictor," a brilliant scientist's invention promises to foresee criminal acts—offering Batman and Robin a chance to outsmart crime boss Mr. Blank. But when the machine ominously forecasts that Mr. Blank will murder Batman, the Dark Knight must confront a chilling possibility: can the future be changed, or is the machine revealing an inevitable fate?

In "The Secret Star," Commissioner Gordon assembles five men to serve as stand-ins for Batman, unaware that one among them is secretly in league with a crime boss. As Batman and Robin train the group, the tension builds over who among them can be trusted.

In "Batman Pounds a Beat!", Batman and Robin find themselves sidelined from their usual crime-fighting duties when Acting Commissioner Tom Harby, nursing a personal grudge, assigns them to mundane police work like issuing parking tickets and arresting jaywalkers—just as a series of mysterious robberies stumps Gotham’s regular law enforcement. With the city under siege by a shadowy figure known only as Dancer Kern, the Dynamic Duo must prove their worth despite being stuck in the most unheroic of roles.
