storyline Batman and Batgirl checked on an alleged bomb aboard an oil tanker leaving Gotham City. People had been captured during NML (and there were no records to say if they were alive or dead) were being shipped to the Middle East as slaves. The would-be-slaves set off their bomb. The crew abandoned ship and locked their captives in. Batman and Batgirl saw the explosion and set off toward it. They were able to rescue those left onboard; Batman had to convince Batgirl not to go down with the ship.
