The fake-out team-up of Joker and Batman, which turned out to be a deathtrap for Batman, natch, way back in the day was a fine issue as well; I wonder how many readers of Shadow of the Bat #38-9 or 81 knew that Wilde Norton was referring to the events of that long-ago issue?

I'm tickled enough to have it in black and white now. Great story, and that Adams art does sing. (By "Ditko's Creeper", I was referring more to his original schtick, rather than the more recent takes. Although I DID love Kaminski's version...)

Oh yeah... Ruby's a great villainess in her own way.

It always seemed to me that Bruce's role there was a little strange, but it is a seminal GA tale.
