La pubblicazione delle
storie di Batman da parte di Mondadori non segue rigorosamente l’ ordine
cronologico, ma è in ordine sparso, abbastanza frammentata e a random,
in una confusione caotica e poco giustificabile pur con l’ attenuante
che all’ epoca le storie non erano caratterizzate da una continuity
referenziale e vincolante ; in questo numero
troviamo :

Synopsis
When the first International Exhibition of Robots
in Gotham City is marred by a series of robots committing crimes about
Gotham City, Batman is offered aid by Doc Magnus and his Metal Men
to solve the mystery. However, Batman becomes convinced that the Metal
Men might fall under the control of whatever force is making the robots
commit the crime.
Easily over-powered by any of the robots he is up against, Batman
is hopelessly outmatched until the Metal Men break out of their
confinement and aid Batman and Commissioner Gordon in finding the true
culperate: Scientist Dr. Deadalus. The Caped Crusader and the Metal Men
then destroy all of Deadalus’ robots and turn him over to police before
returning to enjoy the rest of the exhibition.
Notes
- One page two of the story as Batman is swining around on a flag
pole he comments “Here’s one I did before anybody, including a certain
web-spinning Peter-come-lately!” (BUT THERE’S NO REFERENCE IN ITALIAN TRANSLATION ). This is an obvious reference to Marvel
Comic’s Spider-Man character, who also has as habit of swinging around
tall buildings.
