The Man With Ten Eyes! * 1ST APPEARANCE "TEN-EYED MAN" (Philip Reardon)
A security guard tries to stop a gang of thieves from taking valuable furs from a heaily closed vault, but he is easily outnumbered by the thugs. The crooks prepare a large amount of explosives to destroy the vault and they lit the fuse that will explode the door. Batman arrives moments before the explosion, but he is confronted by the security guard, who mistakes Batman for a criminal and starts fighting him. They struggle for too long and the explosives blow up near them, blinding the guard and knocking Batman unconscious.
The crooks take the furs and their leader carries the security guard Reardon, to an ophthalmologist, who can help Reardon recover his sight by having his optic nerves connected to the tips of his fingers, giving him ten “eyes” to see with. Accordingly, the Ten-Eyed Man goes after revenge on the man he blames for his blindness--Batman.
