Batman isn't quite up to the task, with Commissioner James Gordon being ordered by the mayor to call in the dynamic duo to help against smugglers...and Batman and Robin become "The Dynamic Trio", adding Mysteryman to the group in
Detective Comics #245 (July, 1957), with the story by
Edmond Hamilton,
Sheldon Moldoff and

Batman Annual #7 (Summer, 1964),
Batman Family #2 (November-December, 1975) and in the
Batman Annuals Hardcover
#2 of 2010 (and the name of that man is on the reprint covers), but he also had a one page cameo in
Kingdom Come #4 (August, 1996) with an unexplained appearance...
...so, go find one of these issues for the secret (if you don't want it spoiled....)
Or keep reading for the solution!
The secret of Mysteryman was discovered by Vicki Vale....
