Synopsis

THE MAN WHO BECAME A GIANT An experimental serum turns a man into a rampaging 12-foot giant, and Batman and Robin must find a way to cure him. When the giant becomes a danger to society, Batman tries to trick him into turning himself to the hospital, in order to prevent the man from getting shot by the police. However, the giant runs away until he meets a young boy who is not afraid of his enormous size. After realizing that he is not a monster, the giant man decides to go back to the laboratory to ask his old boss, Professor Simms, for a cure, but Simms blackmails the giant, requiring the chemical formula for the serum that made him a giant in exchange for the antidote. Batman and Robin manage to capture Simms with help from the giant, who is later cured with the antidote and he returns to his normal size. THE 5TH DIMENSION TRAP THE DEFEAT OF J’ONN J’ONZZ While on the trail of a gang of Earth crooks, J'onn J'onzz encounters an apparent trio of Venusian marauders and seems helpless against them.
