Synopsis

THE SIGNALMAN OF CRIME Phillip Cobb is a low-profile crook who dresses up as Signalman in order to gain a reputation and starts committing clue-related crimes in Gotham City. Signalman delivers intricate clues to the Police and Batman, as a way to taunt the authorities. However, Batman is able to solve each of the clues and confronts Signalman at each crime scene, thwarting Signalman's efforts, and ultimately captures him. BATMAN’S ROMAN HOLIDAY Batman and Robin travel backwards in time to ancient Rome to rescue Professor Nichols, who is trapped in that time. Upon arriving in ancient Rome, the people recognize Batman as the great Batmanus of legend as a consequence of Batman's previous time travel to Rome. Batman and Robin learn that Nichols has been captured by an evil King and they decide to rescue their friend. Using modern science and technology unknown in that era, the Dynamic Duo build a hot air balloon in order to escape. Upon returning to the present, Nichols decides that if he ever needs to learn something from the past, he would just send Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson as he has always done. AM I REALLY BATMAN? After capturing Professor Milo, Batman is exposed to a gas that robs him of his will to live. He wakes up inside of a mental hospital, but quickly escapes and returns to Wayne Manor. Robin and Alfred help to perpetuate the belief that Bruce Wayne is not actually Batman, creating a mystery that will spur his will to live until the gas wears off.
