Trying to identify a Batman book from my youth based on a very limited recollection

SuperMark

I'm hoping I can get some help from the forum in identifying a comic that I remember from my youth. I've been searching for it for years (decades?), but the problem is, I can only clearly remember a single panel from the book. Here's what I remember:

It was a Batman book (or Detective or Robin or a one-shot or whatever....but definitely in the Batman family). Probably mid 70's to early 80's. The panel I remember is of Robin (Dick Grayson Robin) riding his motorcycle (the Redbird?) when he hits a wire which was strung across the road knocking him off the bike. It may have been a Joker story, but I think the villain in the story came up with this trap to capture Robin.

I know that's not much to go on, but hoping it rings a bell with someone. Frankly, I'd love to get my hands on this book if only to see if I can determine what it was that has captured my interest for so long.

Thanks all,

Mark

Perhaps a Robin story from Batman Family? He was on that bike a lot in those stories.

I was thinking the same thing.

This is funny because I have a Batman comic from my youth that I've never been able to identify either.

All I can remember is Batman walking through a dark building..he sees a terrifying image of a ghost..I want to say ifs female..but then realizes he's looking into a large mirror. This would have been in the late 80s or very early 90s.

That almost sounds like the Kingdom tie in where Batman is called in to investigate Guy Gardner's hero theme restaurant. He she's the ghost of Batwoman and mutters "Kathy."

This thread really motivated me to finally figure this out.

I've half-heartedly tried to solve this in the past by casually searching online. This time I really wracked my brain about every detail I could remember. Then it came to me. The ghost was a nun! With that I was able to track down this image:
