Synopsis:
An alien robot and creature arrive in Gotham and begin pursuing Batman. When they see that he is a crimefighter, they stop trying to capture him, realizing that he is not a thief. Another man had been to their dimension and stolen one of their weapons. He was disguised as Batman, so the aliens thought Batman was a criminal. With the aliens and Batman on the same side, they team-up to track down and capture the real thief, Ed Collins.
