Synopsis for "Hardware, Part 2"

After tracking Lex Luthor to a warehouse on the outskirts of Gotham City, Batman is in the clutches of his Warsuit and losing consciousness fast. Luthor reveals that he has made huge leaps in cybernetics since meeting Brainiac that will make him unstoppable and shows off the deactivated alien robot. Batman launches a Batarang with his last ounce of strength that causes an explosion and allows him to return to the Batcave.

Alfred helps him suit up in appropriate armor and he returns to stop Luthor but the villain has already taken to the skies with his experimental robot and Mercy. Batman has deduced that Lex's new war machine is actually powered by a mind-controlled Superman, making it immensely powerful but once Batman frees the Man of Steel, he easily turns his former cage to scrap.

As the duo's adventure ends, a man walks into Crime Alley and brandishes a gun at anyone who bothers him. He secretly knows the significance of this place as the birth of Batman.
