Synopsis for "The Caveman from Krypton"
When a strange meteor crashed on the outskirts of Metropolis, two men on the scene are surprised to find it is a meteor containing a strange cave man from outer space. Checking for a heart beat they are surprised to find that the being is still alive, and they decide to cage the animal. The cage is spotted by Batman and Robin who are out on patrol in the Batplane and decide to investigate. To Batman's surprise, when the creature revives it has super-strength and the ability to fly. It escape and begins causing havoc, drawing the attention of Superman. AS Superman attempts to clash with the creature, he is shocked to find that it has all the same powers he does, leaving him to believe that this caveman must have come from his home planet of Krypton.
After stopping a fire caused by the stone-aged Kryptonian, Superman meets up with Batman and Robin. He theorizes that millions of years ago the caveman must have been trapped in molten lava, and it's gases upon cooling placed him into suspended animation. This fragment of volcanic rock was ejected from Krypton when it exploded years ago and was sent hurtling into space until it crashed on Earth today. Whatever the case is, the three heroes realize that the caveman will be nothing but trouble and begin hunting down the creature.
Learning of the caveman's existence, criminals Peter Weller and Jo-Jo Groff decide to capitalize. When Peter commits robberies dressed as a caveman, Batman, Robin and Superman are cautious to try and stop it. When the real caveman sees Walker in trouble and thinking it's one of it's own, the Kryptonian caveman saves him and takes him back to his hideout. Jo-Jo and Peter then come up with a plan to deal with the three heroes.
Luring Batman, Robin and Superman into trying to contain the caveman, they easily get the drop on the Dynamic Duo, tying them up. While Superman and the caveman are battling it out, they toss a piece of Kryptonite in the hopes that it will eliminate both Superman and the caveman. Batman and Robin however manage to get out of their bonds by using acids put in their utility belts and kick away the chuck of Kryptonite. The caveman becomes friendly toward the three heroes and helps it capture the two crooks. However later, the creature suddenly drops dead. Superman surmises that the years of being exposed to cosmic rays and then his brief exposure to Kryptonite was what did the caveman in. Feeling sorry for the confused creature, the three heroes pay their respects to it by burying it in a region on Earth that most closely resembles the era the caveman had lived in.
