Synopsis:

Batman is lonely. And when Batman is lonely, his allies get contacted about nothing, and the pettiest of Gotham criminals feel his wrath. Eventually, after a long night of doing very little, he contacts Aquaman for some help shifting a unique giant penny from the place below the Batcave where it became lodged after the earthquake. Soon, Aquaman discovers that the penny is completely immovable, and realises that he was asked into the Batcave simply for some companionship for Batman. Next time, he says, he'll just bring some beer and videos.

Comment(s):

This story is an Elseworlds tale and thus not part of regular continuity.

Synopsis:

Something rather icky is oozing out of Gotham's sewers and killing people by draining them of all body fat. Chloe Willow, the fattest woman in Gotham, offers herself as bait, but is killed in the process of destroying the sentient grease.
