Plot Overview
The Riddler sets Batman and Robin up for a phony crime. His scheme works unfortunately for Batman. The plan was to have Batman assault the Riddler physically so that he can bring a lawsuit against the Caped Crusader. He will bring Batman into court where Batman will have to reveal his true identity for the public to see, thereby ending Batmans career as a crime fighter. Of course, the Riddler's true crime is to steal a valuable object. He also kidnaps Robin and will use his moll, a woman named Molly, to infiltrate the Batcave to expose its whereabouts to the Riddler. With these schemes, Batman will cease to exist as a crime fighter, thus leaving Gothem City open to criminals everywhere. Can Batman stop all of these things from happening?
