Synopsis for "A Bad Day for Batman!"

Batman relates to the local press how his recent pursuit of a crook was foiled first by the sun reflecting off a girl's vanity mirror, then a light bulb burning out when chasing the crook down a hall, and a boat running short on gas. However, after the interview, Batman takes one of the reporters down to the Gotham Park Lake, where he finds the crook in question trying to go out in diving gear. Batman then quickly nabs the crook that caused him so much grief.
