PLOT:
Batman has just asked crime boss Maltesta to kill Jack, the insane serial killer that has been terrorizing Gotham City. Unfortunately for Bruce, Maltesta's goons decide to torture Jack before
killing him. They find out quickly that Jack enjoys the torture so they tie him up and dangle him over a vat of chemicals. Jack gets free and defeats Maltesta’s men. With his last gasp, however
one of the thugs shoots his gun, missing Jack, but knocking over the vat of chemicals, which spills all over Jack.
Meanwhile, Batman has second thoughts about ordering Jack’s death, so he tries to intervene. He arrives just as the chemical spill all over Jack.
Jack swims to safety and follows the sewer drains to the outside. Emerging from the liquid Jack is changed.
