After some talking, Dick falls asleep on the chair, then Bruce leaves and goes into the grandfather clock in that room. Dick, who was pretending to sleep, saw this.

Dick puts it on and makes his way down to the Batcave to take some of Bruce’s gear and heads off on foot. Dick shows up to see Batman handcuffed to a wall without his utility belt. Dick leaps down and frees Batman. Both of them start attacking a group of gangsters that work for Zucco as their leader runs away. Dick runs after him as Batman gets swamped by enemies. Zucco pulls out a gun and Dick throws a baton at it, knocking it out of his hand. Dick pins him to the ground and then puts the murderer in handcuffs for Batman to come rushing out to see Zucco captured by a boy in bright red and green. The police show up to find Zucco tied up. From the rooftop over, Batman and Dick stand watching Zucco get arrested. Bruce says he did the right thing in not killing him. Dick says that he wants to do this again.

* While in the Arkham Lounge, Edward Nygma and Jonathan Crane sit on a couch and watch the television. A chess match is on. Ed says, "The players aren't even trying to beat each other. It's a game of wits, don't they want to prove they are superior? If only there were stakes that mattered to the players, since intelligence obviously isn't important to them... I'm sure they care about human life... think Dr. Crane, what if human lives were in the balance? What if they truly wanted to best each other? What if they were mortal enemies that hated each other and wanted nothing more than their opponent to lose?" Jonathan in response says, "Riddler, I can hear the wheels of your brain tunning at high speeds." Ed leans up close to Crane and says, "Riddle me this, who wants to win above all else?" Crane answers, "You." Nygma continues, "Who wants to prove they are intellectual greater than those they play against?" Crane begins to catch on, "You." Nygma is giddy with a plan, "Who is my most hated enemy that cherishes life above anything else?" Crane grins, "...The Batman." After hearing that name, the other inmates in the lounge begin screaming, crying, shaking, and twitching all while The Riddler jumps on the couch and laughs maniacally.
