In "The Rainbow Batman," a freak accident leaves Dick Grayson injured, forcing Batman to don a series of brightly colored Bat-suits to avoid drawing attention—only for the situation to complicate matters when Robin the Boy Wonder is caught in the same strange ripple. Written by Edmond Hamilton and illustrated by Sheldon Moldoff, with inks by Stan Kaye, this 1957 tale from Detective Comics #241 explores the colorful chaos of a duo out of sync, all under a cover by Moldoff.
