Synopsis | Batman attacks the crooks who are pursuing the Black Canary. He discovers they were stealing bleach, and realizes that mixing it with Thermite that he has, he can make a bomb, which he uses to set them afire. Black Canary is watching this, and gets turned on by it. After Batman subdues that last crook, she pounces on him, and they make out, and continue from there. Afterwards, Batman offers her a ride home, retrieves Jocko-Boy Vanzetti, and calls the Batmobile. They talk, with Black Canary saying that Batman could benefit from occasional conversations with somebody, but Batman wants her to shut up. At the end, he realizes that she's right to say he's half-crazy, but that the other half is just fine. Meantime, Dick is going stir-crazy in the Batcave, and using an ax to kill a rat. Batman brings him Jocko-Boy Vanzetti, Dick's parent's killer, and wants him to decide Jocko-Boy's fate. Dick uses the ax to cut off Jocko-Boy's gag (and the corners of his mouth), and beats on him using his circus moves to soften him up. Jocko-Boy talks, and they find out he was hired by the Joker. |
