“Attack of the Invisible Knights!”

An ancient legend involving suits of armor coming to life and destroying some opals in a museum appears to come to pass, and challenges the wits of the Caped Crusaders to discover the facts behind this legend.

“Robin's Unassisted Triple Play!”

Using remote cameras from the Bat-Cave, the Caped Crusaders witness a crime and are on the way to the scene when Batman gets an emergency call from the JLA and has to report. Robin now handles the case, tracking down the art gallery robbers.
