History: (Batman / Captain America #1) - <1965> Batman (Dick Grayson) and Robin (Bruce Wayne, Jr.) were pursuing Joker Jr. In the batsub in the North Atlantic. They found no sign of the Joker, but did find a block of ice with a man trapped inside in suspended animation. The ice melted, revealing Captain America, who’d disappeared at the end of WWII. They took Cap back to the Batcave, where Alfred served them tea. Bruce Wayne was glad to see his old friend was miraculously still alive, and Alfred said it was providence because troubled times like the ‘60s needed a man like Captain America.
