Synopsis:
Batman and Robin visit an area just outside Gotham City where two crooks have vanished into a green mist. There, they encounter a strange alien creature that sends a robot army to attack Gotham. Superman arrives to help take on the creature while Batman stops the army. The creature then disappears in another green mist.
More strange alien creatures appear to confront the heroes. The creatures are robots controlled by an alien film-maker, who is filming Superman and Batman’s exploits. He has captured the two hoods, but an accident allows them to escape. They tie up the alien and use his technology to rob a bank.
Superman and Batman are only able to thwart the crooks, when the alien recovers and turns off the hoods’ weapons. The criminals are apprehended, and the alien returns home.
