Synopsis: - Oracle blames herself and Nightwing for the situation at the Slab, where the Joker has started a full-scale riot and 'Jokerised' most of the prison population. Shilo Norman and Dina Bell are trapped inside, and have to fight their way out through the Aqua-Block, which houses such man-eaters as Orca and King Shark. Meanwhile, the Joker sets the next stage of his plan in motion, priming Black Mass to cause a devastating chain reaction which sucks the prison into a black hole. Batman and Nightwing, newly arrived on the scene, are warned of this plan by the Black Canary, and the three are helped to escape by Blue Beetle.
- As the Slab is sucked inside-out, others are less fortunate. Multi-Man, Dina Bell and Shilo Norman are trapped inside and have little idea what is happening.
