Synopsis: - When on patrol with the new Robin, Batman comes across a crime scene that suggests Zsasz is one the prowl once more. He oufits Robin with a new costume which will protect her better from Zsasz and the two of them pursue him. In a brawl, it looks like Zsasz has the upper hand over Batman, but Robin saves her mentor with what could potentially have been lethal force, which Batman does not approve of. Robin is worried that he might fire her, but he says no, but she does need to learn that lethal force is never an option.

Feature Character(s):
- Onyx I (next in Batman: The 12-Cent Adventure #1)
Guest Star(s):
Villain(s):
- Penguin
Synopsis: - When Orpheus and Onyx, the new heads of the gangs from the Hill, spend some time at the Penguin's joint, they are interrupted by the arrival of Batman and Batgirl, having a throw-down fight with them, in which Onyx particularly impresses the onlookers. It is, of course, all a ruse, designed to prove Orpheus and Onyx are not on the side of the angels, and win them the respect of Gotham's criminal fraternity. Batgirl and Onyx rather enjoyed it, and plan to have a rematch some time, for fun.
