Synopsis

THE BATMAN CREATURE! Eric Barroc, a renegade scientist, uses an evolutionary ray to make animals into quasi-humans who commit crimes for him using their feral natures. When Batman intervenes, he gets a blast of the ray and is transformed into a rampaging creature. The Batman creature has to be tamed and guided by Robin, Bat-Hound and Batwoman. Together, they find the scientist's lair and they take the criminal down. With the case closed Robin uses the machine to return Batman to his human form. ROBIN’S NEW SECRET IDENTITY! Discouraged because he cannot show off his spectacular athletic talents in his civilian identity, Dick Grayson tries his luck in a third identity, as a redheaded youth named Danny. When he takes a fall in a pickup basketball game and strikes his head, he loses his memory of being Dick Grayson and Robin. Dick wanders the streets aimlessly until he comes across a fire where Batman is saving people and he goes into action instinctively. At first, Batman doesn't recognize the boy, but later on the Batcave, he reflects upon the events and after Alfred informs him that Dick is missing, the Dark Knight goes looking for the boy on the streets. Batman finds Dick walking near a crime scene and he tells Robin to catch the crooks. The Boy Wonder's memories come back and he tackles the criminals before joining Batman once again with his memory restored.
