Events Surrounding[]
After the Destruction of the Batcave and the kidnapping of Chase Meridian by Two-Face and The Riddler who were using a device from NygmaTech to drain all the brainwaves of Gotham City, Batman and his new partner Robin team up to save Chase and stop the villains once and for all.
The Battle[]
Batman and Robin manage to reach Claw Island using the Batwing and Batboat, whilst going past Riddler's underwater mines and Frogmen.
They get separated when the island begins to move. Robin confronts Two-Face while Batman precedes to enter the main control room (the main source of Riddler's brainwave absorption) from within. Though on the verge of killing Two-Face, Robin decides not be a murderer like him and resists only to be taken at gunpoint by Two-face, gagged and placed in a glass cylinder next to Chase in Riddler's control room.
When Batman finally reaches the control room, Riddler, along with Two-Face, Sugar and Spice reveal the two hostages Robin and Chase to Batman and gives the Dark Knight a choice of saving one of them from falling into a watery grave ("Can Bruce Wayne and Batman ever truly co-exist?). Just as Riddler is about to press a button on his cane to drop the two, Batman distracts him by giving a riddle of his own which buys the Dark Knight enough time to hurl a Batarang at the large antenna which is the main central point of the brainwave absorption and shatters it, causing the control room to malfunction and damage the Riddler's mind in the process. Two-Face, Sugar and Spice flee in the resulting explosions.
While the Riddler is being weakened by the overload of brainwaves entering his mind, he presses the button to drop Robin and Chase to their doom. Batman however uses grappling hooks to save them both. Two-Face then appears and precedes to shoot them all. Batman calls his bluff and tells him to use his coin to decide their fate. As Two-Face flips it, Batman throws and handful of identical decoy coins at him and the villain panics, loses his balance and falls to his death.
Batman goes back up to find the control room now completely destroyed and the Riddler with his mind enfeebled and his body badly injured after his defeat. Batman told him that he had to save both Robin and Chase because he was both Bruce Wayne and Batman. Not because he had to be, but because he chose to be. As he moves towards the Riddler, the villain screams with terror as he sees a large terrifying bat, moving towards him. He is then imprisoned at Arkham Asylum for the criminally insane for his crimes and his company NygmaTech was shut down forever. What became of Sugar and Spice was unknown.
