After a year, Bruce returns to Gotham and resumes crime-fighting as Batman, while Dick goes back to Bludhaven. A new problem arises from within Arkham Asylum, when Jervis Tetch takes control of the minds of the asylum's inmates, setting up his own wonderland of sorts, and kidnapping Vicky Vale, making her Alice. Batman, Commissioner Gordon and Arkham psychologist Dr. Hugo Strange are determined to fight this new villain. Meanwhile Batgirl investigates Strange's background, and finds clues which indicate Strange is not exactly how he seems to be.
