Bruce Wayne's banker, Harvey Midas, gets involved in shady activities, requiring the Dark Knight to set things right. Midas would return years later to plunder the wealthy citizens of Gotham, drawing the wrath of the entire Bat-family. "[Mr. Midas is] a costumed criminal who 'specializes in gold robberies.' Mr. Midas and his henchmen are apprehended by BATMAN, ROBIN, BATWOMAN, and ACE THE BAT-HOUND in an adventure narrated by Bat-Hound in August 1959 (BM No. 125/1: 'The Secret Life of Bat-Hound')." — Michael L.
