Batman and the Teen Titans star in "Rebels in the Streets" by Bob Haney and Nick Cardy. The ghettos of Gotham City have been barricaded off by a group called Stopp (The Society to Outlaw Parent Power), a group of disenfranchised teenagers who want parents to bow to their demands and fix up the ghettos. Using Batman as their mouthpiece, the Caped Crusader does everything in his power to try and maintain peace between Stopp and the Gotham police. However, things escalate when Stopp informs Batman that they have a bomb which they plan to use to blow up part of the city.
Batman enlists the aid of the Teen Titans to infiltrate the ghetto in order to find the location of that bomb either in their civilian guises or their costumed identities, while Batman and the rest of the city try to keep Stopp from detonating the bombs by allowing themselves to be locked up in the Gotham jail.
However, the situation gets defused when Batman locates Stopp leader Linda's mother and reunites the two. Having forgiven her mother for giving her up for adoption as a child, she informs Batman where the bomb is located, and Commissioner Gordon has it disarmed and flown away. Afterward, Gordon realizes that he should never lose faith in the youth.
