Synopsis for "Moth to a Flame"
Killer Moth loses his henchmen after his hideout (a storage locker he calls the Cocoon) is sealed up due to unpaid taxes; depressed, he goes to a bar to drown his sorrows. He commiserates with Garfield Lynns, who was fired from his job as a special effects coordinator after his explosion nearly killed the lead actress and he horrified the director, Tobey, by asking for the footage.
Lynns is intrigued by Killer Moth's plan to be the criminals' Batman and his resentment of Batgirl, and he joins forces with Killer Moth, now calling himself Firefly. Together they hold up Tony Bressi at a strip club, but Firefly's level of destruction horrifies Killer Moth, who protests that they were only supposed to scare Bressi and they'll never get money out of him now.
