“THE NIGHT HAS A THOUSAND FEARS!” Batman develops a fear of the dark when he accidentally sniffs a packet of drugs a smuggler has planted in Bruce Wayne’s luggage.

Batman stars in "The night has a thousand fears!" When Bruce Wayne returns from a holiday, his luggage is checked through security by none other than "Shotgun" Smith - Gotham's toughest cop. However, when Bruce re-opens the case later, he finds someone has planted narcotics inside. The drug has a mysterious effect on Bruce - it makes him afraid of the dark. Tracking the only other person who handled his luggage - the air hostess checkout girl - Batman discovers her secret rendezvous with... Shotgun Smith! However, "Smith" is revealed as a phoney and the dope a mind-control drug, which was aimed at making Bruce Wayne a "willing" blackmail victim.

The Elongated Man stars in "The sign of Two Fingers!" When Elongated Man discovers his wife and pet dog are in the hands of a gang of criminals, he has no alternative but to go along with their blackmail. Discovering the whereabouts of his wife, Ralph uses two Elongated fingers to remove two guns from a couple of hoods before knocking them and their boss out for the count.
