Publisher’s description

Batman and Robin battle the genius criminal Professor Hugo, who increased his intellect using one of his inventions. However, his super-intelligence also caused his head to become larger than normal. Hugo uses invisible robots to capture Batman and Robin, and he intends to create an artificial moon in space, all as part of his evil scheme to get revenge for not being acknowledged as a descendant of a very important historical figure.
