Overview: Batman and Nightwing face the deadly KGBeast atop the roofs of Gotham.
Synopsis (spoilers ahead): A one-armed man calling himself Zimmerman enters Gotham from overseas, claiming to be there on business.
Batman and Nightwing patrol at night, with Nightwing asking Batman if he’s ready for fun – to a decidedly negative response.
Zimmerman checks into a hotel, as the Dynamic Duo fight mummies on the streets. Dick continues to try to get Bruce to make some jokes, to no avail.
At a shady gun shop, Zimmerman purchases a special rifle, while Batman and Nightwing capture the source of the mummies, Phantom Pharaoh.
The next day, Zimmerman leaves a note at a busy hot dog cafe. At night, Nightwing ponders the dual meaning of chum; a friend or smelly fish used as bait. Batman continues to provide little response to Dick’s humor.
At three in the morning, Zimmerman bluffs his way into an apartment building, as Nightwing proposes a contest – perhaps a training exercise, to get the ultra-serious Batman to agree – to jump from the tower, with the last to fire his grappling rope winning. As they fall, Nightwing sings the flying trapeze song.
Zimmerman strangles the occupant of his desired room.
Batman fires his grapple first, in response to the Bat-signal. Nightwing follows.
Calmly, as a dog barks and people fight, Zimmerman sets up his rifle.
Commissioner Gordon greets the Dynamic Duo atop the roof of the GCPD, telling them someone left a note saying “Who’s afraid of the Joker?” Tonight is the anniversary of the end of the War of Jokes and Riddles, Joker and Riddler are both in Arkham. Gordon mentions the one-armed man but has no real leads. As they discuss the case, Zimmerman shoots Dick in the head, then leaves the room, strangled body on the floor....
