The Fifties. . .The decade of hula hoops, sock hops, UFOs, drive-in movies, atomic paranoia and Gotham City's greatest hero--Batman!
It was a decade in which the Caped Crusader was to boldly go where no Batman had gone before. With the success of new technologies, and American children looking up towards the limitless possibilities of space, science-fiction entertainment was the talk of the times. As a result, the World's Greatest Detective was destined for newer and wackier adventures than ever before, fighting giant robots, kooky aliens and talking apes, just to name a few. And while it may have left the Dynamic Duo's heads spinning, it was ten years of unparalleled fun for kids of all ages.
The sixteen tales collected here exemplify this lighthearted time of sci-fi crime-fighting. So please join our hero, along with Robin, Batwoman, Bat-Mite and Ace the Bat-Hound, as we time-travel back to. . .Batman in the Fifties!
