We've done episodes before that look at three versions of one story. But of there's one story that has seemingly been retold more than any other, it's the first Batman story, "The Case of the Chemical Syndicate." This week, we're reading four versions of that story over three issues, plus some other stories in an anthology. It's a wild ride, featuring hippies, supervillains and some really lazy editing.

The Cry of Night Is-- Sudden Death (Detective Comics V.1 # 387)

The Cases of the Chemical Syndicate (Detective Comics V.1 # 627)

Detective Comics V.2 # 27
