Synopsis:
Batman and Robin guard an alien box given to them by Superman. When the box is accidentally opened, Robin is transformed into a man by a strange gas. He dons a new costume and becomes Owlman. Though his body is now that of an adult, Dick still makes childish mistakes. Eager to prove himself, Owlman tries to capture the Daredevils, a gang of criminal acrobats, himself. The crooks see his unmasked face before Batman rescues him. Working together, Batman and Owlman capture the crooks. The effects of the alien gas wear off, restoring Dick to normal. The crooks hope to recognize the man they saw unmasked, but since he is now a boy, their cause is hopeless.
