In "The Experiment of Professor Zero," Batman and Robin find themselves shrunk to pigmy size after falling victim to a mad scientist’s dangerous invention—just like others before them. Written by Bill Finger and brought to life with sharp, dynamic art by Dick Sprang, this 1949 tale from Detective Comics #148 delivers a classic sci-fi twist on the Caped Crusader’s world, with Sprang also handling the cover pencils and inks.
