Synopsis
King Of The Gotham Jungle
Batman is on the lookout of Roy Reynolds aka, The Getaway Genius, who has managed to escape after every crime he has commited, making a fool of Batman and the Gotham City Police Department. Aware of the trouble that the law enforcers of Gotham are facing, Robert Langstrom decides to provide help in the only way he can.
The Getaway Genius has managed to fool Batman once more and he is currently "getting away" with the loot from one of his recent crimes when he suddenly spots the shadow of a bat in a nearby rooftop. Reynolds and his gang use a helicopter to escape and they believe that they have reached a safe place from Batman, but much to their surprise, it is Man-Bat who is after them. The flying creature is able to reach the helicopter and force it to descent to the ground, where the thugs are finally captured by Batman. After this unexpected team-up, Batman learns that Langstrom has managed to control the transformation into Man-Bat and they realize that their team-work could be unstoppable if they continue training and working together!
