Synopsis: - Batman pursues a man who has recently escaped from prison. The man appears to have incredible strength and is hunting down all those who helped put him behind bars. Batman finally corners him when he pursues a woman called Kira Kelly who has an unclear connection to the case. Batman guesses that the man was not responsible for the murders he is accused of, and this discovery causes the man to stop short and explode, leaving behind a strange stone, which Batman picks up. Kira Kelly tells Batman that a man named John Cole is the real culprit, and he sets off, determined to put Cole in the morgue. Kira seems very pleased about this.
