Synopsis
  • 1.57788E10
  • Martian Manhunter has turned a park into a martian town. The town is encased in a dome which contains martian atmosphere. Inside the dome humans gain powers like those of J’onn. Also Martian Manhunter is powerless inside. Three crooks take control of the town. They try to take the control unit away from J’onn, who without powers must flee. J’onn sends the robot inhabitants of the town to attack the crooks, but their powers are too strong. J’onn finally defeats them by exposing them to fire. The men are taken away by the police.
  • Batman prevents a crime by the Night Owl Gang and learns the identities of its two leaders. The gang gets away, but Wedge Dixon, one of the leaders is later found by police. Batman’s testimony is the only evidence against Dixon, so the gang plans a trap for him. Batman is apparently killed in an old mine. Later, Batman appears to still be alive as he and Robin capture some other crooks. Dixon and the gang realize though that Batman has been replaced by a robot. When Dixon comes to trial, Batman is exposed as a robot, as a result Dixon is set free. Dixon meets up with Chill who was in hiding to recover their loot. The real Batman who has escaped the death trap is able to catch both men, the rest of the gang, and recover the loot.
