Synopsis for "The Return of Killer Moth!"
Killer Moth makes a comeback after his last encounter with Batman, in which he was defeated. After this failure, Killer Moth has become the laughing stock of Gotham's underground and the criminals he was supposed to help, don't want his assistance anymore. To gain back some credibility, Killer Moth decides to steal a valuable moth object from the Gotham Museum, using his connections as Cameron van Cleer.
Killer Moth's plan is almost succesful, except for the fact that Bruce Wayne is also part of the Museum's directors and he is present at the place when Killer Moth strikes. A fight begins among the two of them, but Killer Moth manages to escape and Batman is forced to change back into Bruce Wayne. The sudden disappearance of Bruce and Clarence make them suspicious of each other and both of them deduce their secret identity.
Knowing that Moth would strike at the museum again, Batman and Robin await for him and soon, the criminal shows up. After a quick fight and a chase, the Dynamic Duo are able to stop Killer Moth and once he is captured, Batman removes his mask, learning his true identity and ending the second criminal spree of Killer Moth.
