In "The Blockbuster Invasion of Gotham City!", Batman and Robin face off against the elastic menace known as the Bouncer, thwarting his crime spree by stripping him of his costume’s stretchy powers. Written by Gardner Fox and brought to life by Carmine Infantino’s dynamic art with Joe Giella’s inks, this 1970 Annual explores an alternate path where the Dark Knight’s fate takes a darker turn—leaving Robin to find a way to stop the Bouncer alone.
