Synopsis:

James Gordon is able to channel the anger of the Gothamites in a sensible direction, rather than towards wanton destruction, while the costumed heroes of the city deal with looters. Batman, followed by Gordon, goes into Babylon Towers to discover what has become of Poison Ivy. It becomes apparent that the antidote does not work. Outside on the streets, Robin show signs of being infected with the Clench.
