“Batman, Junior”

In "Batman, Junior," a heartwarming twist stirs when Robin feels left out after Batman refuses to take him on a case—only to stumble upon a long-lost photo showing Batman with a younger version of himself, taken before Robin ever existed. The discovery sends ripples through Gotham as a grown man, eerily familiar yet unknown, reappears in the city, forcing Batman to confront a past he thought was buried. Written by Edmond Hamilton and illustrated by Sheldon Moldoff, with inks by Charles Paris, this 1956 classic features a striking cover by Curt Swan, Sheldon Moldoff, and Stan Kaye.

When Batman doesn't allow Robin to come with him on a case, he's hurt, but more so when he accidentally discovers a photo of the Caped Crusader with a younger version of himself, taken years before there was a Robin, and that person, now a grown man, has returned to Gotham City.
