Synopsis:

Hush requests Batman's help, forcing him to release Clayface V, the childlike Cassius, from incarceration, as his DNA will hold the key to the Clayface 'infection', giving Hush great power and also healing Alfred Pennyworth. However, the new Clayface realizes just how evil and manipulative Hush is, and ensures that Batman alone gets Cassius' genetic material in exchange for a promise that Batman will make sure Clayface's family are safe. Dying, he also helps Batman in another way, taking the rap for the murder of Riley Wilkes, revealing fingerprints that are remarkably similar to those of Alfred Pennyworth. Hush is not at all pleased, and neither is Commissioner Akins, who is aware that Batman sprang Cassius from jail, and that Cassius is still free and potentially a danger.
