The stories

“Moon of the Wolf”

“The First Batman”

The discovery of an old Batman-type costume in Bruce Wayne's attic re-opens the Wayne murder case, and helps him realize that Joey Chill had only been hired to kill his parents...and the real man responsible was still alive and free.

“The Duped Domestics!”

Alfred is in love, and to impress the fair maid he has designs on, he poses as the Batman, unaware that his "girl" is actually the Catwoman in disguise.

“The Story of the Batmobile...”
