| Storyline |
Robin
was working out in the cave. Batman, not approving of
his choice in music, turned off his boombox. Wanting
to appease his young ward, Batman offered to take him
out and help discover the true nature of his favorite
singer, Izaak Crowe, who'd been accused of blowing up
a studio. They visited his promoter and learned that
he'd had another recent freak out and believed he was
in the company of a long dead rock legend.
They caught up with the singer at a mall music store.
He had gathered followers and was demanding the store
carry his album and give it to kids for free. Security
got involved and shots were fired. Batman and Robin
were too late - Crowe and his gang escaped, though Crowe
himself had a bullet wound in his shoulder. Crowe and
his girlfriend / bass player stopped at a drive-in theater
to watch some Elvis movies. She snuck off and called
their status in - she was in on the situation.
Batman brushed up on rock and roll history and realized
Crowe and his followers were headed for the home-turned-theme-park
of their "god." They got there as the angry
mob began fighting the police. Shots were again fired
as the body of their fallen idol was removed from its
resting place. Crowe again escaped.
Batman, trying to show Robin that rock music caused
insanity, took him to Arkham. Robin rebelled and ran
away. He caught up with Evangeline - Izaak's bass player
and lover. He tried to convince her to help him save
the man, and realized she was partly behind the madness.
They got to the roadblock where police and followers
were holding out for Izaak to arrive. Batman got there
at the same time. Crowe was killed in a shoot-out by
the police. Batman almost snapped.
They went after his promoter / manager, who was flanked
by dozens of impersonators. Roy Lazarus committed suicide
running from the dynamic duo.
