    After months of living in an underground cavern, Blockbuster re-emerges while Batman and Robin are in the middle of thwarting a robbery. Speaking in the voice of Blockbuster's brother Roland Desmond saves the Batman from certain death. When Batman next encounters Blockbuster, he is knocked out and placed in a coffin by an obscured figure.

The mystery villain, however, now revealed as the Outsider, walks away more determined than ever to defeat Batman.

    The Elongated Man and his wife Sue decide to go fishing at Lake Cherokee without knowing that the lake is dry. There, they observe a man fishing in the mud with a magnet who eventually snares a key. The Elongated Man follows the fisherman to the house of Elmer Ewell, where the fisherman knocks out the caretaker before breaking in. Following, Elongated Man hears a clock strike 13 before he is kayoed by the anti-theft system of the house.
