Synopsis:
Batman receives a letter containing a message from Jose Garzonas who wants revenge for the death of his son. He also provides proof that Jim Gordon is his captive. Batman goes to the junkyard where Gordon is being held. He leaves Robin at home, but Jason follows by hiding in the trunk of the Batmobile. Batman fights his way through several henchmen hired by Garzonas. Eventually he confronts the drug lord directly. Robin then shows himself.

Batman is surprised, but acts quickly to engage the last of the goons. He also frees Gordon. Garzonas opens fire. Batman climbs a stack of demolished cars to escape. The tower collapses. It falls on top of Garzonas, killing him. Batman tells Robin after it's over that this battle was a consequence of his actions which led to the death of Felipe Garzonas.
