Synopsis for "Flyer, Part Three"

Batman is tortured by Birgit Eisenmann, who seeks to break Batman's will and make him accept her sexual advances. Batman manages to break free from Birgit's torture machine, but he still has to overcome several test areas in her laboratory, designed to challenge his mind and body.

Birgit gets aroused watching Batman overcome every obstacle, breaking his will and strength with each test. Suddenly, Curtis shows up and attacks Batman to prove his mother that he can be just as powerful as Batman and worthy of her love. Curtis is powered by an extra device which makes him faster and stronger and thanks to that, he beats Batman to a pulp.

Batman is almost defeated, but the painful memory of his past provides him enough strength to keep fighting. Witnessing such unbreakable spirit, Curtis realizes his mistake and stops fighting, just as Batman's strength abandons him. Curtis turns against his mother and Batman takes the opportunity to take Curtis' flying machine and escape from the cursed place.

Curtis goes to the power chamber of the building and activates the self-destruct mechanism, which causes the building to blow up in a massive explosion. Birgit and Curtis are inside the building during the explosion and Batman reaches the river by the time it goes up in flames.

Batman has learned a valuable lesson and will no longer consider his nightly activities as "fun". Meanwhile, in the rubble of the building, the voice of Curtis can still be heard.
