Superman #24/1970
In "Geständnis auf Tonband," Jimmy Olsen stages a massive Superman showcase featuring lifelike robots that demonstrate the Man of Steel’s powers—only for Superman to secretly swap places with one. Unaware, Jimmy places a crown on the robot’s head, unknowingly embedding a shard of green kryptonite within it. As the device activates, Superman is paralyzed, and with two criminals closing in on the exhibition, chaos looms. Written by Otto Binder and illustrated by Curt Swan with inks by Ray Burnley, this 1970 classic features a cover by Neal Adams that captures the tension perfectly.
Marla Manning reaches out to Batman, desperate after digging too deep into a criminal case that’s turned deadly. With her life suddenly at risk, Batman takes up the trail—only to find himself entangled in a web of secrets that even he can’t predict.
In a playful twist on hero worship, Jimmy Olsen stages a grand Superman showcase featuring multiple Superman-Roboters, each demonstrating the Man of Steel’s famed abilities. When Superman swaps places with one of the machines, Jimmy unknowingly places a crown on his head—hidden within it, a shard of green kryptonite. Now paralyzed and vulnerable, Superman faces a double threat as two gangsters close in, intent on hijacking the event.
