Synopsis: - A number of muggings are reported in Gotham with a common theme - the victims all use a wheelchair or other aid to movement, and have all made claims for compensation against those who caused the accidents that made the aids necessary. Barbara Gordon spots this pattern, but feels unable to talk about it to Batman or her father, as they both blame themselves to a degree for her own disablement. With Alfred's help, she tracks down a number of people who match the muggers' description and who've had claims made against them. To flush him out, she pretends to have decided to sue her father, Dr. Arkham and Bruce Wayne for the alleged negligence which could arguably have led to her shooting. That night, he inevitably attacks her at her apartment, unaware of her combat skills and of the watchful presence of the police.

Comment(s):
- This story is an Elseworlds tale and thus not part of regular continuity.
Synopsis: - A painter who has lost his sense of color due to toxic paint fumes exacts his revenge in a series of black-and-white themed crimes. However, he is soon fooled by Batman and the police who set up the possibility of stealing the Milan Shroud. Despite disguising himself as a nun, he is apprehended and taken away in a panda car, a concept which reduces him to helpless laughter.
