storyline [1] A young boy set out to get a picture of Batman so he'd be more popular at school; it had worked for one of his neighbors. The first night, he chickened out, but was prepared the next few times (though each time he failed). Using a dark photo of a sheet on a clothesline, he fooled his classmates into thinking it was Batman. A girl verified his story and they became friends.
[2] An up and coming mobster readied to make his move in the organization until hearing a first-hand account of "the bat."
[3] A man paid ransom for his kidnapped dog. Batman stepped in when the kidnappers failed to return the pet. The man got his dog back and the ransom money.
