Anyway, you can probably tell by today's panels that editor Julie Schwartz was re-vamping the character, getting rid of the aliens, and just making much-needed improvements. The yellow oval under the chest emblem isn't a huge costume change, but it was a clear signal as to whether you were reading a pre-change or post-change Batman story back in the day.
That would be the last time Batman and Robin booked a vacation through Travelocity....
Hey! It's time for Fun with Out of Context Dialogue! (tm!):
A return to detective work only made sense. I mean, it's Detective Comics, right? So let's listen in on the action:
What??? Foreign???? Sputter! I'll not have it! Good detective work, lads! We'll have them investigated immediately. Not that we expect to find anything, but you should go ahead and contact Immigration to initiate deportation proceedings!
That's right, kids. Foreign people are "odd." Be ever vigilant!
See you tomorrow!

You gotta be a bit more careful about "sizing" the panels.
The first shot seems to be a close up of Robin's...utility belt.
It only makes sense when you click on the panel to see the whole thing.
You might want to switch Blogger templates to enable you to have bigger, uncropped images.
Blogger has gotten rather wonky as they make improvements. When I previewed it on Friday, it was fine. Some gremlins must have jumped in over the weekend. All in all, the improvements are positive ones, but there is certainly the occasional surprise!
Easy fix. Although I imagine my traffic would have increased in a certain demographic had I left things as they were!

Wanna prove Wertham right? ;-)
I think the odd thing about those "foreign" men in the last panel is that they appear to be riding an invisible bicycle built for two. Indoors.
I know you were going for the funny when you said the thing about the detective saying the men were "foreign", but I think he meant Foreign as in "A foreign object in your soup" kind of foreign.
