Jeremy Samuels is on a self-destructive collision course with death and neither his old friend Bruce Wayne, nor Wayne's Dark Knight alter-ego can stand idly by and let that happen. Meanwhile, there's a new outlaw in town who's making it easier for Samuels to achieve his goals. After heavy thinking, Batman met Samuels and the mystery watcher at the cathedral was arriving. Jeremy was killed, and the watcher escaped. Batman and Robin shook down the Penguin, but go no information.
