[edit] Plot synopsis
The Penguin has pulled off a plot to hijack an armored helicopter and, in the course of The Penguin's raid, Bruce Wayne is temporarily blinded. Dr. Leslie Thompkins gives Bruce strict instructions to keep his eyes bandaged for forty-eight hours or risk losing his sight permanently. But when The Penguin starts using the chopper's weaponry to terrorize Gotham, it's up to the Batman to stop him — sight or no sight.

[edit] Notes
- The idea of a "blind Batman" could have been taken from the Marvel Comics character Daredevil. Also, the "radar" that Batman uses in order to see, makes him see everything in red, just like Daredevil's radar looked in Spiderman: The Animated Series.
