| storyline |
Explosions rang out at Arkham Asylum and at the state prison in Gotham
City. Batman's most dangerous foes were all loosed - some joined together to
work with the man who freed them, others ran free on their own. Ra's al Ghul
visited the Batcave, much to Batman's surprise (who though he was dead). He
warned the detective about the breakouts and offered to eliminate the villains
if he would join him. Killer Croc kidnapped Alfred while Batman and Robin went
after Riddler. On his trail, they were ambushed by Poison Ivy, Scarecrow,
Catman, and Black Spider. Riddler informed the duo that Alfred, Vicki Vale,
Julia Pennyworth, and Sgt. Harvey Bullock had all been captured. Joker and
Penguin placed police headquarters under siege. Talia came to Batman's aide.
Catwoman was captured. Batman freed her and the other hostages and apprehended
some of the escapees. The Batsquad went after Ra's al Ghul and destroyed his
stronghold, the man himself was once again believed dead.
