Synopsis
Batman and the Metal Men team up (more-or-less) to battle Dr. Daedalus and Icarus and his rogue robbing robots. R4573 and Klang are robots greeting each other at the First International Robot Exposition where the action starts. Batman is shown with anti-robot bias that is cured over the storyline.
