- All of us have deep buried fears! Me too! But I'm not going to give into those fears! Give them an inch-- and they want a mile! That's the way fears are! Got to fight them-- like we fight crime itself!

Synopsis for Batman: "The Circle of Terror!"
Batman and Robin go up against a new costumed criminal who calls himself the Spellbinder and uses hypnosis devices to cause Batman to cower in fear of illusions. On two occasions, Batman is paralyzed by the illusions, but on the third time, he finds a way to counter the effects of the false imagery, and returns to reality. Once recovered, Batman fights back along with Robin, and they capture Spellbinder and his gang.
