Title:
Detective Comics (1937)
Synopsis:
As he watches the sewer waters wash Batman away, The Ratcatcher leaves his opponent for dead and returns to his remaining prisoners: the three other men who had convicted him of murder years ago. Against all odds, however, Batman manages to survive the flood. Though in ill health, Batman immediately sets out to search for the Ratcatcher’s prisoners, with only a makeshift torch lighting his way.
Meanwhile, an autopsy of the late Judge Hogan convinces Commissioner Gordon that Gotham’s sewers bear investigating. The Commissioner sends several patrolmen and a sanitation worker into the sewers, but the policemen are quickly driven off by the Ratcatcher’s rats, and the worker killed. Nevertheless, the Ratcatcher realizes that the police will eventually overwhelm his makeshift prison, and decides to execute his prisoners before making his escape.
