Synopsis:

When a criminal's associates are all spooked or knocked out by their own incompetence, he assumes that this is the work of the Batman, and does his best to get away. Wherever he goes, he is followed by the distinctive sillhouette of Gotham's Dark Knight, little realising that it his own hyperactive imagination making everything seem different to how it really is. Eventually, he is happy to hand himself over to the police, tired of running.

Synopsis:

During Batman's take down of the Creighton Import Cartel, an innocent young woman is caught in the crossfire between the villains and the vigilante. He is forced to call Superman to save the woman's life - every second counts as her aorta is severely damaged. Superman chastises him for making this necessary (although this has only ever happened once before) and although Batman defends himself, he knows, in his heart of hearts, that the Man of Steel is right.
