SEARCH FOR A NEW ROBIN

After a Bruce Wayne dummy set up to preserve Batman's secret identity is "murdered", the Batman is forced to assume a new identity separate from the "deceased" Wayne. While in hiding Bruce postulates the breaking-in of another boy to replace Dick Grayson as Robin. However, each possible kid for the role of Robin doesn't have the perfect requirements and Bruce can only imagine the mistake it would be to try and replace Robin with any other random kid. After a few days, the real Robin locates Bruce and takes him to the GCPD Headquarters, where Commissioner Gordon confirms the fact that the police have found the Bruce Wayne dummy on the river and Bruce explains that it was all planned with Batman to capture the criminals who wanted to kill him. Afterwards, Bruce can return to his normal life and he has learned that there will never be another Robin.
