Detective Comics: 80 Years of Batman #[nn]
"Block Buster" is a standout tale from Detective Comics: 80 Years of Batman, spotlighting a classic moment in the Batman mythos with a story written by Bill Finger and illustrated by Sheldon Moldoff, with inks by Charles Paris. When Batman and Robin discover the Bat-Cave disturbed, they’re greeted by Bat-Mite, a mischievous dimension-hopping fan eager to join their crusade—only to find his idea of "help" turns their crimefighting into something far more theatrical. The cover, by Jim Lee and Scott Williams, captures the whimsical chaos of the moment with flair.

Preparing to go off on patrol, Batman and Robin find the Bat-Cave disturbed and meet Bat-Mite, an admirer of Batman's from another dimension. Bat-Mite wants to join Batman and Robin in their fight against crime, but Batman politely convinces Bat-Mite that that won't work. Instead, Bat-Mite tries to make Batman and Robin's exploits a little more entertaining, a little more "fun." In the end, Batman finds a way to make Bat-Mite useful, which lets the imp know it's time to go home.
