Synopsis:
Mr. Freeze escapes from prison after being moved there from Arkham Asylum. He breaks into S.T.A.R. Labs to steal a large diamond which is being used to focus a powerful laser. Batman confronts Mr. Freeze. He is captured, bound, and nearly killed by the laser. However, the Dark Knight uses a batarang to damage the controls and start a fire. The heat overcomes Mr. Freeze, who is defeated and sent back to prison.
