Synopsis:
Batman investigates a series of truck disappearances where drivers claim their rigs burst into flames on the road. Disguised as a truck driver, Batman experiences the fiery highway phenomenon firsthand. He soon discovers the trucks are being hijacked by a helicopter using an electromagnet, and the drivers are being killed when the trucks are dumped into the ocean. The culprit is the head of the truck manufacturing company, who wanted to avoid a scandal about faulty brakes.

Quotes:
"People can't set themselves above the law. That way leads to anarchy. Even though you and I skirt along the edges of it, we still operate within the legal system. That's the way it has to be. Even though more than a small part of me sometimes wishes it could be otherwise." — Batman
