    ===Riddler Investigation===
    In 1966, [[Edward Nigma (Earth-66: Pre-Crisis)|Riddler]] blew up a friendship cake at the [[Republic of Moldavia Pavilion (Earth-66: Pre-Crisis)|Republic of Moldavia Pavilion]] at the [[Gotham City World's Fair (Earth-66: Pre-Crisis)|Gotham City World's Fair]] which released a note that read, "Why is an orange like a bell". This event soon came to the attention of Commissioner James Gordon who held a meeting at the [[Gotham City Police Headquarters (Earth-66: Pre-Crisis)|Gotham City Police Headquarters]] with top figures in the GCPD to figure out what it meant. He asked both [[Miles O'Hara (Earth-66: Pre-Crisis)|Chief O'Hara]] and [[Basch (Earth-66: Pre-Crisis)|Inspector Basch]] if they knew, but they both shook their heads. He then decided to call [[Bruce Wayne (Earth-66: Pre-Crisis)|Batman]] and [[Richard Grayson (Earth-66: Pre-Crisis)|Robin]] on the [[Bat-Phone (Earth-66: Pre-Crisis)|Bat-Phone]] who quickly drove to the police headquarters in the [[Batmobile (Earth-66: Pre-Crisis)|Batmobile]] and began to debate the meaning back and forth before Robin figured out that the answer was that they both must be peeled, meaning that he is at the [[Peale Art Gallery (Earth-66: Pre-Crisis)|Peale Art Gallery]]. James then instructed his men to go to the gallery, but Batman told him that he would handle it as it was too dangerous for the police.
