THE THIEF OF NIGHT!

One night while out on patrol, Batman encounters the black-clad Thief of Night, who steals precious furs and gems to bring to his lover, Nocturna. In their first encounter, Batman is unable to capture the thief, because he chooses to save an innocent man from death. However, when word about this gets to the media, Batman turns into the laughing stock of Gotham City.  Meanwhile, Lucius Fox gets word from the board at Wayne Enterprises, that one of their employees, a Ms. N. Knight, has suffered an accident while working the night shift at the Astronomical Observatory and her medical bills for her dermatology treatment are very high. Fox considers the situation and realizes that Wayne Enterprises might have to give the lady additional compensations.  The next night, Bruce goes on a date with Vicki Vale, but he leaves her waiting for three hours when he gets word that the Thief of the Night is close by. Despite his best efforts, Batman is unable to stop the shadow thief and after another defeat, he returns to a very upset VIcki Vale, who ends their date immediately.  To make matters worse, Bruce returns home where his new ward, Jason is considering going back to the circus since Batman will not take him on as his new partner.
