Synopsis:
After blacking out in the Bat-Cave, Batman gains super powers. He and Robin arrive to help with a fire and Superman arrives too. The two heroes begin competing with one another instead of working together. The rivalry intensifies and a hatred develops.

Robin tries to break up the fight and is eventually transported to the planet Xlym. Once there two aliens explain that they gave Batman his powers and used a machine to make the heroes hate each other. When the aliens’ superior arrives, Robin is sent back to Earth and the machine which creates the animosity and Batman’s powers is shut down. Superman and Batman then renew their friendship.
