Synopsis:
A new masked hero has arrived in Gotham calling himself Mr. Marvel. Using spectacular gadgets, Marvel becomes a crime-fighting rival to Batman. Robin decides that he can learn a lot from Mr. Marvel and leaves Batman to form a new partnership with the newcomer.

Batman is disheartened that his partner has disolved their team. However, Robin was actually blackmailed into joining Mr. Marvel. Robin pretends to enjoy their partnership, but then turns on him. He removes Marvel’s belt which was designed to kill Batman.

The Caped Crusader arrives and unmasks Mr. Marvel. Beneath the mask is an alien. He came to Earth to win a bet over whether or not he could break up the Dynamic Duo for ten days. He is sent back to his world a failure.
