Synopsis:

Tommy Elliot and Prometheus confront the Joker and his men, gunning many of them down, to get hold of the Riddler, but their target slips away during the firefight. Batman arrives on the scene, but his three enemies - the Joker, Elliot and Prometheus - all disappear from the scene. Later, Batman discovers Prometheus' identity, the Riddler seeks sanctuary with Poison Ivy, and the Joker returns to the group of circus freaks he made the acquaintance of when he tortured James Gordon.
