In these stories from the 1950s and 1960s, The Caped Crusader becomes the super-powered hero of the distant Planet X and an unintelligent creature who threatens Gotham City. He also meets the Club of Heroes, the Batmen of All Nations and the inter-dimensional imp known as Bat-Mite, as well as witnessing the seeming death of Robin.
