After inheriting a vast fortune after his parents are killed by a gangster, Bruce Wayne vows to avenge their deaths by spending his life fighting crime in Gotham City. Cared for by Alfred, the family butler and Harriet Cooper, his aunt. Bruce adopts the orphaned, teenaged Dick Greyson. Together they adopt the guises of "Batman" and "Robin" forming "The Dynamic Duo".

Stories relate their crusade against the sinister forces of evil. Whenever their services were needed, Police Commissioner Gordon could summon them with the searchlight-like Batsignal or call them on the special Batphone. In addition to the underground Batlab, they used a marvelously equipped car, the Batmobile, to chase and apprehend criminals.
