In "Superman's Super Hold-Up!", the Joker orchestrates a bizarre crime spree by assembling a team of specialized "Aces," each chosen for their unique skills to pull off daring heists. His most audacious move? Recruiting Bruce Wayne himself as one of his masked operatives—though the Dark Knight’s true intentions remain hidden. Written by David Vern and illustrated by Bob Kane with art by Lew Sayre Schwartz, this 1952 classic features dynamic storytelling and a cover by Win Mortimer that captures the Joker’s chaotic flair.
