Synopsis:

The Riddler visits Scarecrow to warn him that the Penguin is dead and someone is likely to be after them next. Moreover it looks like it's the Scarecrow's fault, as "he" was supposed to be dead. Meanwhile, Batman follows a series of leads which seem to suggest that former actor Paul Sloan is involved in the affair. At a theatre, Batman encounters the man, who gets away and visits the Scarecrow himself.
