Mongul has killed Batman and resurrected him to fight Superman. With millions of people who think they're playing a game controlling Batman's every move, Superman must allow Batman to kill him, so he may join the game.

Superman and his Regime start moving the Arkham Asylum inmates to another location, but Batman opposes the idea. Meanwhile, Green Arrow brings in Harley Quinn to Arkham, but leaves her with a guard while he finds out what's going on with Batman, Superman and the other heroes. Harley injurs the guard and releases all inmates, who proceed to attack the heroes, and she turns off Solomun Grundy's dampeners, so that he is at full strength. During the fight, Robin starts beating on some of the inmates who are already down, and when Nightwing tells him not to, he throws one of his weapons, hitting Nightwing in the head, causing him to stumble and fall on to a bit of rubble which snaps his neck, killing him instantly. Both the heroes and the inmates are shocked and stop fighting while Batman grieves.
