 * The 13 CLUB * The Case Of BATMAN II * The Grand Opera MURDERS! 
* The second story in this issue, features a "Batman dies" scenario for the first time in history. It also contains the first expanded illustration of the inside view of the BatCave.

1* When a popular television program starts debunking popular superstitions, the Joker decides to "prove them wrong" by committing a series of superstition based crimes, but his plans are ultimately foiled by Batman and Robin.

2* Bruce Wayne dies in a car accident, leaving Dick Grayson and Alfred to carry on alone. In order to keep up with his crime-fighting career, Robin starts looking for a replacement for Batman. After searching among top athletes, Robin finally finds the perfect candidate and he takes the man into training with Alfred's help.
After an intensive time training in the Batcave, the new Batman is ready for action and when Commissioner Gordon activates the Bat-Signal, the Dynamic Duo get going to the scene of the crime. Batman II and Robin are almost killed by the criminals, but Alfred intervenes, saving their lives. The criminals are captured and the new Batman has proved his worth.

3* Bruce and Dick are watching an opera when suddenly there is a murder attempt and they start investigating as Batman and Robin. They are unable to find the killer, but since nobody died, they suspect that whoever is behind the crimes, will try again later.

After a series or murder attempts on different nights, Batman and Robin become part of the crew on one of the operas, in order to locate the killer from the inside. During the last scene, the lead singer is killed as the curtain closes and they finally realize that the killer was in fact the lead singer, who was dying and he wanted to kill some of the crew members before he passed away.
