We open on a shot of Metropolis and then a shot of Gotham. The camera goes through the different cities including Jump City, Central City, and Smallville. We cut to the darkest corner of Gotham as robbers get in a car and drive away with three hostages. They pull into the back lot of the Iceberg Lounge as the Penguin comes out of the backdoor. The three hostages are revealed to be Penguin's old goons who tried to rat him out to the cops. The penguin tells them that they will die one by one until he finds out which one of them had the idea to work for the GCPD. As the Penguin does his thing we see a shadow roaming in the background. The shadow jumps onto the roof of the lounge and onto the wall. The Penguin looks up and it looks like the fear of God came to him in that moment. The Penguin tries to get in the car but the shadow lands on top of it. Penguin looks up as the shadow lifts its head and quietly says run. We watch as what is revealed to be Batman takes Penguin and his men down. Later on we see commissioner Jim Gordon and a couple of cops find the goons tied up but not Penguin. The episode ends with Batman talking with the Penguin about him having to stay around because if he doesn't someone worse will.
