They've got him CORNERED.
They've got him OUTNUMBERED.
They've got him TRAPPED.
They're in TROUBLE.
Gotham City P.D. has Batman trapped in an allegedly abandoned tenement. They proceed to bomb it from the air. Batman scrambles to the safety of a sub-basement, but loses his utility belt when the thermite in it ignites. After the bombing ceases, Branden's SWAT team scours the building and a wounded Batman, wounded and missing most of his weapons, has to fight his way to freedom.
Meanwhile, Detective Gordon begins an affair with his partner and Selina Kyle is inspired to don a costume of her own - a catsuit.
