(Batman I #315) - After years spent in prison Kite-Man was released and immediately resumed his criminal career. Kite-Man sent his goons to break into Gotham City Hall, and Batman caught them, but not before they stole a bunch of blueprints and sent them via a remote-controlled kite to their boss. Kite-Man planned to rob the Trans-Atlantic Airways payroll with the blueprints, giving his men the best way to sneak in while he distracted security with kites that exploded into fireworks. Kite-Man stole the payroll with box-kites armed with a nerve agent that disabled the payroll security. Kite-Man took the haul and thanked his underlings for their time, but said he flew alone and escaped alone on his hangglider. Batman caught up to him in his bat-glider, colliding with the villain and destroying both of their gliders, but Batman launched a parachute to land them safely. Batman handed Kite-Man over to Commissioner Gordon and the GCPD and wondered why men like Kite-Man could never outgrow their childhood.
