Batman realizes that a pattern of recent bombings in Gotham is based on an episode of an old television series featuring his favorite boyhood hero, the "Gray Ghost." Seeking information, Batman visits the actor who played the Gray Ghost, only to discover that over the years, he's become a victim of type-casting and has not been able to find other work. Though the "Gray Ghost" is reluctant to help Batman at first, he has a change of heart and appears at the scene of the next bombing just when Batman needs him. As Batman continues his investigation with the Gray Ghost, the actor begins to see parallels between Batman and 'the Gray Ghost's methodology, and comes to realize what an important part he must have played in Batman's early life. Not only does this revelation give the actor a new sense of worth, but when he and Batman succeed in capturing the mysterious bomber, the ensuing publicity completely revitalizes the Gray Ghost's sagging career.

Episode Notes |
| |
Among the identified Gray Ghost episodes in Simon Trent's cupboard are Have A Heart, Red Ghost Run, The Claw, Take A Hint, One On One, Dr. Death, Jimmy's Homecoming, The Doll Maker, Gray Ghost Returns, Missing Link, The Card Shark, Spy Smashing, The Secret Chamber, The Road Trip, Terror In The Sky, Earthquake, Sweet Revenge, The Mad Bomber, Electronic Man, and Sweating Bullets. Terror in the Sky was also the name of a later episode in this series.
| The Mad Bomber's appearance resembles a young Bruce Timm who also voices the character
| Adam West, the actor who played Batman in the 1960's tv show of the same name, voiced the character of The Gray Ghost in this episode as producer Eric Radomski noted the similarities between the characters. "When we had first gotten the script on that, we all went: 'This would be perfect for Adam West, but do you think he'd be offended because of the content.' But he was more than happy to do it. It was great to have this aging hero play this aging
hero."
