Synopsis: - Robin explains to Nightwing how Batman ended up in Arkham Asylum, accused of murder: A series of murders had been carried out, seemingly by serial killer Mr Zsasz, but Zsasz himself was incarcerated at Arkham. Batman was sure that the madman was responsible, and during the investigation, became ever more angry, finally flipping and killing Lt Kitch in a rage, whereupon Commissioner Gordon was obliged to take him in. Nightwing decides to go to Arkham to investigate, even as Batman breaks free of his restraints.
