Synopsis:
Batman awakens in a mental institution. The staff tells him that he is not Batman, but he escapes and returns to Wayne Manor. Dick Grayson and Alfred do not know who he is, and Bruce Wayne is there too. Batman leaves, pursued by the police, but he eventually realizes that it is a hoax. He returns to Wayne Manor where Robin reveals that the hoax was done to protect Batman from a gas which he was exposed to. He needed to stay active, so Robin created the hoax.
