Synopsis for Batman: "How to Be the Batman"

Batman is stricken with amnesia while on a case with Robin. Robin must then help Batman regain his memory or re-teach him his crime-fighting skills. It's discovered as they continue to investigate the case that Batman's athleticism and skills in detection are only hindered by the amnesia, because those skills have been deeply seated in Batman's subconscious mind.
