Synopsis for "Of Gods and Men"
In the search for the Themisciran Goblet, Batman and Robin interrogate some thugs who lead them towards Arkham Asylum. Trying to make a connection between the escape of Cheetah, they learn that Maxie Zeus was released prior to Cheetah's escape and they deduce that he is holding the Goblet, which would tilt the scales in the War of the Gods in favor of good.
Batman and Robin break into Maxie Zeus' place and after a confrontation with the madman and his thugs, they manage to retrieve the Goblet, thanks to Robin's quick thinking and fast action. Maxie is returned to Arkham and Batman analyzes the Goblet to find any clues as to why it would help the war. When he finds the answer, he immediately goes to talk to Wonder Woman.
