This story is continued from New Titans #61.

Synopsis:
Two-Face has detonated a bomb which causes a building to collapse on top of Batman and Nightwing. Tim Drake dons the Robin costume for the first time and comes to their aid with an assist from Alfred. Once Batman and Nightwing are dug out of the rubble, Batman objects to Tim's involvement. However, when Tim reveals that he placed a tracking device on Two-Face, Batman allows him to come along.

Batman and Nightwing go after Two-Face in a junk yard. When Tim is endangered, he is able to save himself. This impresses Batman. Batman and Nightwing then finish off Two-Face. Afterward, Tim successfully convinces Bruce to allow him to continue as Robin and learn.
