I will link tomorrow or Wednesday in a roundup post. I had remembered the Detective story because of course it's part of that late-1950s "filling in the legend" era just before the aliens and monsters, but I didn't realize that it followed the Robin story so closely. BTW, I know that Robin fought the Clock again; IIRC it's in the Batman in the 1940s volume. And the Green Arrow also fought a slightly different Clock villain around 1960 or so. The swipes are certainly a part of the comics, so it's not that I'm expressing indignation. It's just interesting when you find one that you hadn't heard about. It certainly looks like the Blackhawk stories of that era will turn out to resonate with many Batman stories. BTW, you might enjoy my post on the most ill-fated swipe in DC history: http://sacomics.blogspot.com/2006/02/worst-swipe-ever.html Wow, excellent post, Bill!

The Batman story from Detective #265 has only been reprinted in Batman #187, way back in 1966. For those who are interested, the Robin story has been reprinted in Robin Archives Vol. 1.
