Comments:
Batman temporarily takes on a new costumed identity, Starman.

Synopsis:
Professor Milo, a renegade scientist, is able to instill a paralyzing fear of bats into the Batman. As a result, Batman can’t operate in his own costume or using his own devices. Instead, Batman devises a new identity, Starman, to continue his crime-fighting. Milo begins to suspect Starman is Batman in disguise, so he uses bat imagery to try to scare off the new hero. It doesn’t work, as Robin was able to cure Batman of his fear by forcing his partner to face his fear. Batman is then able to stop Milo and resume his identity as Batman.
