☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects a series of Batman stories from the late 1960s and early 1970s, featuring the Dynamic Duo of Batman and Robin as they face off against classic rogues like the Joker and the Penguin. The collection highlights the evolving tone of the era, blending detective work with more dramatic, character-driven plots that would influence later takes on the Caped Crusader.
In "Gateway to Death!", Batman and Robin face a baffling string of psychic robberies—objects vanishing and reappearing as if moved by sheer will—leaving even the Dark Knight momentarily stumped. But while the heroes grapple with the mystery, Alfred remains eerily calm, as if he already knows the truth behind the phenomenon.
In "Operation Blindfold!", the Schemer orchestrates a deadly deception, framing an innocent blind man for murder and planting evidence to make Commissioner Gordon believe the man is the Batman. When the real Batman arrives at the scene, he’s swiftly arrested—caught in a trap where the line between hero and criminal has been dangerously blurred.
In "Blind as a... Bat?", the real Batman, disguised as a blind man, works in secret alongside Robin to stop an armored car heist, while the police wrongly imprison an impostor. With Robin captured by the cunning Schemer, the masked detective must outsmart a dangerous plan involving a gold-laden plane—all while staying hidden in plain sight.
In "Batman Walks the Last Mile!", the Caped Crusader faces off against a cunning criminal mastermind who orchestrates a heist designed to humiliate him. When the Planner challenges Batman to a game of intellect, the Dark Knight outmaneuvers his foe in a showdown that ends with the villain sentenced to die in a Batman suit—proving that even the most calculated schemes can fall to justice.
In "The Doomsday Ball!", Batman takes on a deadly game of cat and mouse when a stolen nuclear device threatens Gotham City. With time running out, he turns to the cunning criminal Brill for help—but first, he must survive a series of brutal traps set by Brill and his crew in a high-stakes test of wit and will.
