Collects sixteen Batman comics from the years 1950-1959, in which Batman and Robin face new challenges inspired by the advances in technology around the world. At times aided by Batwoman, Bat-Mite, and Ace the Bat-Hound, they face off with giant robots, kooky aliens, talking apes, and many more enemies.

The most memorable Batman stories from the 1950s are collected in this new title. The 1950s was a decade of change for the Dark Knight Detective, one that introduced new friends--and foes! These tales include the debuts of Deadshot, future member of the Suicide Squad; the original Batwoman, Kathy Kane; Mr. Zero, who would go on to greater fame as the nefarious Mr. Freeze; the original Red Hood; and the pesky interdimensional pixie known as Bat-Mite. This was also an era of great inventiveness, with tales that revealed how Batman's own father, Thomas Wayne, was once a Batman himself; how Batman became a Superman-like hero on the distant planet Zur-En-Arrh; the secrets of Batman's utility belt; and the introduction of an all-new Batmobile. Collects Batman #59, #62, #63, #81, #92, #105, #113, #114, #121, #122, and #128, Detective Comics #156, #168, #185, #187, #215, #216, #233, #235, #236, #241, #244, #252, #267, and #269, and World's Finest Comics #81 and #89.
