Synopsis:

Batman believes that Catwoman is going to sell a dangerous chemical to some terrorists who plan to target a trade conference in Gotham. He ignores Commissioner Gordon's insistence that this is not Catwoman's style and pursues her the next night. She enters a chemical warehouse and he intercepts her. She claims to have stolen the first nerve gas component so that no-one else could ger hold of it, and is now stealing an ineffective substitute to sell on to those who will probably not realise it isn't the real thing. Batman does not believe her and the two have a brief scuffle, during which Catwoman realises this is not the Batman she knew. She escapes with the subsitute chemical she came for, and Batman is not at all pleased, determined to bring her down.
