Batgirl and Robin team up against the Power Sower, who has siphoned off all electrical power from Washington in an attempt to get Americans to reduce their use of energy.
Private Eye Man-Bat · 13 pages
Trial by Fire · 12 pages
Huntress escapes the fiery trap that Councilman Gresham set for her. Weeks later, during his tour of the fire-torn South Gotham, Gresham falls through the floor and ends up trapped by Huntress. She tosses him a homemade bomb that she saw him plant the previous night, proving he's been behind all the fires. During a scuffle, Gresham falls back and the bomb explodes, killing him. The urban renewal project gets its funding, and ironically the first project completed will be named after Gresham.
