Temporarily stunned into paralysis by the Joker's toxic petals, Bruce is dressed in his "best cape," placed into a coffin and buried alive just outside of Arkham. The Black Glove's plan is to let the air run out of the coffin and leave Bruce without oxygen just long enough before raising him in a near brain-dead state. Then the evil society plans to disfigure the permanently brain damaged Wayne to look like his greatest enemy - the Joker.
