Indexer Notes

Synopsis added by Craig Delich 9-11-07. Oddity: in the 1st panel on page 2, the caption states that Bruce Wayne & Dick Grayson are sitting at home listening to a radio announcement, then note the Bat-Signal in the sky. Dick says they need to change and head for Police HQ.....but if one looks closely, Dick is sitting there already in his yellow cape & black mask!
