Robin III Part 11: Detective Comics #615 (Early June, 1990)

As Batman gets closer to stopping Penguin, Tim helps figure out how the birds are controlled.

I have this issue.

Tim is with Alfred at Wayne Manor when he sees Batman, swarmed by birds, approaching on foot. They race to the Batcave, but are ordered to go back into the house. Tim and Alfred do so, and the birds continue their attack until Penguin’s signal is canceled out.

Notes of Interest:

1) Tim guesses correctly that ultra-sonics are what jammed the signal.

2) He also acts quickly when he sees Batman in trouble.

WTF? Moment: Tim should have shouted his idea of ultra-sonics to Batman from the top of the stairs; it would have given Bruce more time to act…and shown off more of Tim’s deductive skills.
