Doused by Punchline's toxin, Batman has a vision of an optimistic future that turns dark. Harley Quinn tries to bring Batman back to reality to deal with the Joker, who has invited Batman to the premiere of "The Mark of Zorro" at the Monarch Theater, which Joker has refurbished for the occasion. Meanwhile, Joker's gangs run rampant in Gotham City, causing one citizen to start to fight back against them.
