Synopsis for Batman: "The Negative Batman"
Batman is struck by the rays of a criminal scientist's camera-weapon, which turns him into a "negative Batman", vulnerable to light and possibly doomed to die in a few days' time. As a last resort, Batman prepares a trap for the criminal, who uses his camera on Batman a second time, unknowingly. As soon as he is returned to normal, Batman uses his Robot, painted as a negative in order to trick the villains and destroy the atomic camera. With the criminals captured, Batman is able to return to the spotlight, literally.
