Synopsis for "Bizarre Wars"

After having a nightmare, Mister Mxyzptlk wakes up in his home in the Fifth Dimension. he receives the morning paper, and is startled to read that he has been appointed absolute ruler of the Fifth Dimension. He is suddenly mobbed outside of his home, and carried to the town hall. He meets with the original rulers, who happily greet him, before jumping in an escape pod and flying away. Confused, Mxyzptlk tries to give his speech to the crowd,, but everyone begins running away. Confused, he says to himself that he hopes that an inter dimensional demigod hasn't shown up to issue some kind of challenge. He turns, and sees just that, a large being, descending, who proclaims that he issues a challenge. He asks for the leader, but sees signs for Mxyzptlk, and immediately picks the imp out. Mxyzptlk introduces himself, and the being introduces himself as well, calling himself, A. A snatches up the escaping pod, and his assistant informs them that leaving the dimension while it is in play is against the rules. A punishes them for their insolence, eating their ship whole. A's assistant tells Mxy that A will play him in Checkers, and several other games chosen alternately by him and A, and that they're playing to best 4 out of 7. If Mxy wins, A leaves, but if A wins, then he rules the dimension. Mxy proudly exclaims to a that residents of the fifth Dimension have reality-altering powers, and that he doesn't have to adhere to a's rules. with that, he begins physically attacking A in a number of ways, but all prove futile against the monstrous being. A's assistant informs Mxy that by physically attacking his opponent, he's disqualified himself, and he must choose a champion to play in his place. She shows him the Costumed Crusaders Catalogue, and Mxy is promptly sucked into it.

After falling for a short time, Mxyzptlk lands in the Headquarters of the Costumed Crusaders Catalogue. He is greeted by a robot named Candice, who explains that here, he can access every alternate variation of any costumed hero. He chooses Superman, and she shows him to the Superman section. There, he begins opening every door, with each door leading to a new incarnation of the Man of Steel. After going through several doors with no luck, Mxy hopes that the real Superman will be behind the next door, and he is relieved when he does find the real Superman behind it. After finally mustering up the courage to ask the very skeptical Superman for help, he becomes livid when the Last Son of Krypton rejects his plea for help. Furious, Mxy hands Superman a bomb and leaves, with the bomb exploding in Superman's face. My decides that whoever is behind the next door, he'll take them. He opens it, and finds a large, white version of Superman. The creature, turns, and calls him Greg, saying hello. Back in the Fifth Dimension, the creature, calling himself Bizarro, appears to be very dim-witted, spouting nonsense and calling Mxyzptlk Greg, acting as though they're old friends. Confused that Bizarro doesn't have any Kryptonian D.N.A., Mxyz creates a giant film camera, and peers into Bizarro's head, watching his origin story. To his annoyance, all he finds is an old commercial for dental floss. Mxyzptlk leaves the room, but Bizarro follows him. The two exit through Bizarro's door, and Mxy finds that Bizarro's door has disappeared after they exited it. Candice thanks him for shopping at the C.C.C., but Mxy makes a fuss, saying that he didn't pick Bizarro. Candice informs him that once a hero is on the walkway, the order is final, and that Bizarro can't be returned. A's assistant abruptly teleports the two back to the Fifth Dimension, and is disgusted by Bizarro. A declares the contest's beginning, but Mxy stops him, calling a time-out.

Inside the Watchtower, the Justice League of America holds a meeting, and everyone listens to Superman's story about Mxyzptlk asking him for help. Everyone has different opinions, but Wonder Woman decides that they should check out the imp's story. Elsewhere, the 30 minute clock on Mxy's timeout starts, and tries to make Bizarro understand the situation. After several attempts at getting Bizarro to understand the concept that heroes fight villains, including conjuring up illusions of well-known villains for the creature to fight, Mxyzptlk finally hands over a pile of comic books for Bizarro to read. Bizarro begins reading, but unfortunately, he reads for so long that the clock runs out. Bizarro stands, and declares that he finally understands it. He tells my that he has a plan, and pulls out a paintbrush. Exclaiming that he'll show A, he pulls out a paintbrush, and begins drawing masses of comic pages, much to the confusion of the others.

Bruce goes into the city, and runs into Julie Madison and her new doctor, Oswald Cobblepot. Bruce tries to talk to Cobblepot, but the man is unresponsive. Julie prematurely cuts off the conversation, and she and Oswald leave. That night, Bruce goes out as Bat-Man, and notices two thieves on a rooftop with a bag of loot. He ambushes the men, and defeated them easily. A policemen notices the commotion from the street below, and he begins firing his gun at the Caped Crusader. Bat-Man quickly dodges the bullets, and he swings away on his Batrope.

That night, Bruce is awakened from his sleep, and he sees a cloaked figure moving silent through his penthouse. He tackles the person, and removes their hood, astonished to find that the notorious Night Fumbler is actually his fiancee, Julie Madison. He notes that she seems to be in a trance, and she suddenly faints. He changes into his costume, and leaves in his Batgyro. He flies over the city, and sees a talk mountain, and figures that it must be his destination. He fixes the automatic controls, and glides down from his vehicle on a rope. He drops onto the mountain, and he crashes through it and leaps in a heap on the floor inside, among a group of penguins. He looks up, and sees Cobblepot standing over him. Batman explains how he figured out that Cobblepot was behind the Night Fumbler, and he dresses the crook by his real name, Penn Gwyn. Cobblepot, furious, snaps his fingers, and a giant gorilla approaches Bat-Man from around the corner. Trapped, he reaches for a battering on his utility belt, but instead finds a banana. Realizing that he's been 'fumbled', he throws the banana at the behemoth anyway. The gorilla loses interest in Bat-Ma at the sight of the banana, and he goes after it. The banana goes over the railing of the room, and the gorilla dives over it, knocking Cobblepot over the railing as well. The two plummet into a vat of cod liver oil, and do not emerge. Bat-Man remarks that it was a tragedy, for the gorilla.

Synopsis for "Who Erased the Eraser?"

Batman and Robin swing through Gotham City, and land in an abandoned alley. Batman goes through a small doorway into a basement,and the Dynamic Duo find a boarded up door. Batman tears it dow, and finds and old computer inside. Batman tells Robin that he has been trying to solve a serious computer crime, and that he's been tracking data from computer to computer for the last several months, and the trail ends at this computer. When they find that the computer is inoperable, having been neglected for years, the two leave, and drive off in the Batmobile. As they speed through the streets, Batman tells Robin of a dream he's been having for the past week. In the dream, he keeps seeing one of his old enemies, from many years ago, before this Robin's time. The villain in the dream is the Eraser, and he keeps saying that he doesn't exist, and neither does Batman. Batman recounts the Eraser's origin to Robin, about how he was Leonard Fiasco, an old classmate of Bruce Wayne's back in college. One day, Leonard saw Bruce with Celia Smith, who Leonard had strong feelings for. Leonard turned to a life of crime, calling himself the Eraser, and wearing a bright costume, and how Batman and the original Robin finally stopped him.

The duo return to the Batcave, and retire to bed for the night. That night, Bruce dreams of the Eraser again, but this time, the villain is telling him that he's committed the perfect crime, but he won't tell Bruce how. The next morning, Bruce is annoyed to find that all the crucial parts of the articles in the newspaper have been removed, but he can't figure out why he'd do that. Later, Bruce, as Batman, sits down in the library, and feverishly searches through books cataloguing his oldest and worst foes. He is annoyed to learn that Fleisher's 1976 book has a cut off point at 1966, meaning that there is no information on the Eraser. He's also confused as to why DC Comics hasn't sued all the lesser-known comics publishers who have characters very similar to the Eraser. The Caped Crusader's search takes him to DC Comics Offices, where he's informed that the writer who created the Eraser is hanging out at an old bar on the waterfront called Biddy Mulligan's.

Batman and Robin go there, and talk to the man, who says that he tried to revive the character around the time that another English writer was reviving old characters, but that they wouldn't go for it, and that he lost his job. That night, at Wayne Manor, Bruce explains to his ward, Greg (Robin) why he's been so on edge lately. All investments have gone down, all his bank accounts have been wiped out, and his computer records have been erased, and the records and deeds of ownership of Wayne Manor have been tampered with. Exclaiming that he's fought every adversity except poverty, he resolves to act as though everything is normal at the grand school reunion the next day. At the reunion, he runs into Celia Smith, as the writer from Biddy Mulligan's disdainfully looks on. The man goes home, reflecting on how he tried to pull a major computer crime years ago, and how it would've worked, it had been many years in the future, since it was so far fetched back then. He goes home, and it's revealed that he is Leonard Fiasco, since he gets out and puts on his Eraser costume, letting out a big, sad sigh.

Synopsis for "The Most Bizarre Bizarro of All!"

On Htrae, the Bizarros are all disgusted and frightened at the newest and weirdest Bizarro of all, Boing. Boing grew up like every other Bizarro, until one day, other Bizarros began mocking him when he had a nameplate around his neck that said "Boing". He explains that when he looked in the mirror, it made a noise, 'boing'. Since the mirror said that, and it was a reflection of him, he believed that the mirror was saying his name. The Bizarros continue to mock him, and a fight ensues. Bizarro #1 and Bizarro Lois Lane show up and stop the fight. Later, Bizarro #1 informs one of the Bizarro-Lois Lanes that Bong is her son, and this brings her to tears, since Boing is an outcast. The two look out the window, and see Boing walking on his hands in the street, and declaring that he's 'cool'.

Later, Bizarro #1 holds a meeting, and he decides to go to Superman for help. He heads to earth, and arrives in Metropolis, where he begins turning the Daily Planet building sideways to get Superman's attention. Inside, Clark Kent change into Superman, and flies outside. Bizarro #1 rights the building, explaining that he only wanted Superman's attention. After explaining his predicament, Bizarro and Superman fly off back to Htrae. When they arrive on the planet, Superman decides that they should check out Bizarro's duplicator ray first, since it might have malfunctioned when creating Boing. Bizarro tells him about the giant comet that flew by Htrae the day Boing was created, and Superman flies off with him to find the comet. They find it, and Superman asks if Bizarro can hear the sound, and when the creature can't, the Man of Steel remarks that the Bizarros must be tone deaf. He says that all celestial bodies emit musical sounds, and Boing must have heard them. As they fly back to Htrae, Superman figures that 'boing' must be a musical sound that Boing hears all the time, so that's why he chose it as his name.

The two come back, and see several Bizarros harassing Boing for dancing in the street. Superman lands next to Boing, and tells Boing that he doesn't have to dance on his hands anymore to be cool. Superman flies off and finds some trees, and fashions a makeshift flute out of one of them. He returns to the city, and begins playing it. All the Bizarros begin dancing, and son, everyone is dancing, and no one is harassing Boing. Superman looks on at everyone, and admires his handiwork, thinking to himself that this is a pretty cool place now.
