Synopsis for "The Batman Nobody Knows!"

Bruce Wayne takes a group of children out on a camping trip and learns from them three different images they have of the Batman. After listening to all their stories, Bruce decides to surprise them by appearing as Batman, but the kids dismiss Bruce's attempt as a playful joke and they don't believe that Batman can be just a simple man. When the kids go to sleep, Batman realizes that his image is only frightening to those who have a guilty conscience, not to those who are innocent.

Trivia

  • In "Return of the Flying Grayson!", one of the kids is seen reading a Flash Comic.
  • In "The Batman Nobody Knows!":
    • There are several references to people and media from the 70s. They are the athletes Muhammad Ali and Jim Brown and the films Shaft and Super Fly.
    • Ronnie calls Batman "Batwings" and imagines him as a black man, in a black and blue outfit with bat-like wings, using technology to fly and fight. This perception of Batman probably served as an inspiration for the creation of two legacies: Blackwing and Batwing.
