Hey there. Sorry for the absolutely late reply. Whoever sent you to me was right, I happen to know most about Batman around here, although as you might have noticed, I'm not active around anymore.

Anyways, about the story you're looking for, given the description you've written, I am willing to bet that the story you're looking for comes from published in 1977. Although the details don't match exactly with your description.

For instance, Batman didn't go willingly into the procedure. He was taken by force. Now, if he was actually fake-crying... well that's for you to find out once you reread the whole thing!!
