[1] Ra's al Ghul
sent Talia to Gotham City to kill "the Detective." She
set a trap for him - three assassins in a sealed room filling
with poison gas. She entered when she felt he could not longer
be alive, but he had survived. She was unable to pull the
trigger to finish him off and returned to her father a failure.
[2] When Commissioner Gordon suspected
Boss Maroni had killed a key witness in his trial after being
set free, he went to Harvey Dent for help. Two-Face's coin
agreed. He led the police to a number of Maroni's hideouts, but
escaped before getting to their last chance. He prepared to kill
Maroni for scarring him, but stood down when Gordon asked him
to.
[3] Batman tracked the killer of a man he'd looked up to as a
child. The trail led him to the dinosaur theme park and his
former partner there. Batman defeated the animatronic dinosaurs
and took the killer down. Bruce Wayne, under an assumed name,
bought the dinosaur as a trophy. |

[1] A young boy
set out to get a picture of Batman so he'd be more popular at
school; it had worked for one of his neighbors. The first night,
he chickened out, but was prepared the next few times (though
each time he failed). Using a dark photo of a sheet on a
clothesline, he fooled his classmates into thinking it was
Batman. A girl verified his story and they became friends.
[2] An up and coming mobster readied to
make his move in the organization until hearing a first-hand
account of "the bat."
[3] A man paid ransom for his kidnapped dog. Batman stepped in
when the kidnappers failed to return the pet. The man got his
dog back and the ransom money. |
