Following the events of the previous episode, Batman (Hamish Linklater) is now public enemy number one with Montoya (Michelle C. Bonilla) being put in charge of a new task force to take down the vigilante. She brings in Harleen Quinzel (Jamie Chung) for her take on Batman as well as stages fake muggings to bring him out of the shadows. When those fail, Flass (Gary Anthony Williams) and Bullock (John DiMaggio) decide on a more dangerous tactic that earns the ire of Gordon (Eric Morgan Stuart) but skewed public perception puts the crooked cops in charge of capturing Batman from this point on.
Flass and Bullock’s plan involves release serial arsonist Eel O’Brian (Tom Kenny) from prison, arming him with his toys, and letting him loose in some of the lower-rent tenements of Gotham City. It is successful in drawing out Batman who fights off cops in a burning building while trying to rescue as many people as possible. With the last episode feeling more like Batman: The Animated Series focusing on Batman and Catwoman, this episode turns the season arc a shade darker again with Batman still victorious but the crooked cops of the GCPD rewarded for their dastardly behavior.
