Synopsis:

At the very last second, Batman manages to get the bomb off the train, barely avoiding a horrible disaster. He is then met by Martin, who says he wants the Riddler to pay for something he did, and tells Batman what the Riddler has done with Kara Harris. Batman rescues her from drowning, but then the wristwatches they are both wearing suddenly activate, and the Riddler-hologram appears again, to tell them that they must kee within ten metres of each other or they'll both be blown up. Now stuck with the reporter, Batman realises that he must have missed something. He goes back to interview businessman Nathaniel Koughun, and learns that the Riddler plans to steal something from the museum which shares a wall with one of Koughun's buildings. To ensure his co-operation, he kidnapped the love of Koughun's life, Doctor Brendan Dallaway. Batman promises that he has nothing to fear, and now that he knows where the Riddler's target is, he can end this.
Trying to unlock Edward's gift with puzzles and conundrums, Professor Buttery digs into his background and discovers that his school uncovered this gift early. However, Edward's father was convinced he had cheated on the test (which is impossible), and beat Edward until he agreed - in time, Edward came to believe this to be the truth. Now freed from his past, he makes progress, but begins to remember what he has been doing with his life for the past ten to fifteen years.
