Aristro was a "cunning international thief" who arrived in Gotham City with riches on his mind. With his gang, he broke into the Gotham Museum and stole a magic lamp, created by the legendary larko, a sorcerer. When Batman and Robin arrived to apprehend the thieves, the lamp was used to transform the Caped Crusader into a jinni, or "magical genie," connected to the lamp. As a magical being, Batman was now possessed of great powers, but he could only use them on behalf of the lamps owner. Robin, working with Bat-Girl?, managed to outwit Aristro, forcing the traditional three wises to be expended without causing too much harm to Gotham's people and property. With his obligation completed, Batman resumed mortal form and, with Robin, brought Aristro and the gang to justice. The lamp was returned to the museum and kept under lock and key.
