I am sure I am in a tiny, tiny minority when I say that I actually liked the goofy old “Batman Time travel” stories. For those who aren’t in the know, Bruce and Dick had a friend named Professor Nichols, who would often use a special kind of science to send the duo back in time, usually on some whim. Once there, our heroes would risk causality and chance to Batman and Robin and basically muck about the time-stream. Apparently it never occurred to them that two slightly oddly dressed people would be far less conspicuous than two people in tights and a mask.

What I like about these stories is not the actual content as much as it is the methodology. Submitted for your amusement… Bat-Time-Travel

That’s right, Professor Nichols would somehow cause Batman and robin to physically travel back in time via hypnosis.

Eventually, someone realized how odd that seemed and decided to “explain”.

I actually liked the original way much better.

Of course, there’s the whole question of how the heck they get back…
