Synopsis for Batman: "The Invisible Batman"

During a fight with some criminals, Batman is exposed to a radioactive dye and the next day, he realizes that the chemical has made him invisible. His new invisibility grants Batman an advantage on his crime-fighting career, but it complicates his life as Bruce Wayne. In order to avoid detection, Bruce goes on public wearing a rubber mask, but even his clothes start turning invisible.

When Batman has to testify in court against a notorious criminal, the criminal's lawyer tries to stop Batman's testimony by claiming that since nobody can see him, he couldn't be the real Batman. After a series of tests, it is proven beyond doubt that Batman is the person in court and the jury finds the criminal guilty of all charges. When the thug's lawyer tries to get away with Robin as a hostage, Batman stops him and shortly after this, a solution comes to his mind. Pouring some orange juice over himself, Batman becomes visible again and he tells Robin that he deduced that the citric acid could nullify the effects of the radioactive dye.
