"THE DEADLY WEB OF THE CRIME EXCHANGE!" Batman, claiming to be a reporter, is trapped in the Crime Exchange headquarters and told to grab a gun and fire a bullet into the floor as a test. Batman then grabs the gun and hurls it into the video screen, causing a blackout. He quickly changes back into his criminal costume as the others open the door, making it appear that Batman has escaped into thin air.
