Synopsis:
Three of Batman's most notorious foes, Riddler, Penguin, and the Joker, team-up. They expose Batman to an experimental gas which changes him into a Bat-Hulk. As the Bat-Hulk, Batman is a menace using immense strength and chemical powers for crime.
The transformation isn't permanent, and Batman returns to his normal self. He seeks out Metamorpho for help, sensing the condition will return him to the Bat-Hulk. Batman's prediction is correct, and Metamorpho is unable to stop the Bat-Hulk.
Bat-Hulk then teams with the three villains to pull daring robberies. Metamorpho continues to battle Bat-Hulk on the rooftops of Gotham City. Eventually a lightning bolt strikes Bat-Hulk, permanently changing him back to Batman. Joker, Riddler, and Penguin are then captured and returned to police custody.
