Synopsis:

Batman is seriously burned out and, as Bruce Wayne, begins seeing alternative therapist Doctor Shondra Kinsolving. He has just begun a course of sedatives when news comes in that Killer Croc is on the rampage. Robin and Jean-Paul head out with Jean-Paul disguised as Batman. They intend not to engage Croc if they can help it, but Jean-Paul is, as ever, over-eager. However, they are spared the trouble of capturing him when Bane arrives on the scene and fights Croc to a standstill, snapping his arms. He also makes it clear that he is aware that the Batman on the scene is not the true Batman.
