Batman, Junior and Robin, Senior

This week’s World’s Finest Wednesday takes us back to 1955 with one of the strangest Batman stories ever told: “Batman, Junior and Robin, Senior” from Detective Comics Issue 218 (DC Comics). When a mad scientist’s “youth and age gas” turns Batman into a reckless kid and Robin into the responsible adult, Gotham gets the Reverse Dynamic Duo—and chaos ensues. Zach and Mike break down the story panel by panel: youth gas, old gas, dogs getting de-aged into puppies, Batman forgetting who he is, Robin taking charge, and the immortal line, “You shouldn’t be squirting your gas around so freely.” It’s classic Golden Age weirdness, complete with wind machines saving stampeding horses and Batman identifying a bad guy by his ears.
