Batman Annual #[nn]
In "The Blockbuster Invasion of Gotham City!", Batman and Robin face off against the elastic menace known as the Bouncer, thwarting his crime spree by stripping him of his costume’s stretchy powers. Written by Gardner Fox and brought to life by Carmine Infantino’s dynamic art with Joe Giella’s inks, this 1970 Annual explores an alternate path where the Dark Knight’s fate takes a darker turn—leaving Robin to find a way to stop the Bouncer alone.

Batman and Robin put an end to the crime spree of the Bouncer by taking away his costume's properties of elasticity. But writer Gardner Fox wonders how the story would have turned out differently if Batman had been killed by the Bouncer and Robin had had to come up with a way to neutralize the Bouncer's abilities.
