In The Coils Of Copperhead

Distracted by another crime, Batman fails to prevent the Queen's tiara from being stolen by Copperhead, who escapes capture by climbing straight up a building. Realizing he needs to bait Copperhead into another crime, Batman convinces Wonder Woman and Batgirl to pretend they love him, and that he is then too busy fending off their attentions to fight any crime. Before Copperhead can take the bait, Wonder Woman kisses Batman, and instantly falls in love with him for real. Seeing this, Batgirl realizes that she also loves Batman, and the two start competing for Batman's attentions for real. They proclaim their love for Batman by hiding their secret identities in a local park, and telling Batman where he can find them. Overhearing this, Copperhead goes to the park and collects the identities, but Wonder Woman takes them back and destroys them before he can read them. The three crime fighters then follow Copperhead to his underwater cave hideout. Once inside, the women are captured. Batman beats Copperhead in battle, but not until after Copperhead bites him with poisonous fangs. The girls free themselves, search Copperhead for the antidote, and give it to Batman before it's too late for him. At this time, they go their separate ways, with the women begging Batman's forgiveness for actually falling for him.
