Synopsis for Batman: "More Than Maybe"
Bruce Wayne writes a letter to Linda Page. Bruce first met her at the Elliot family gala and he began to fall in love with her. In a passionate night, Linda expresses how Batman abuses his wealth to brutalize criminals instead of helping others, unbeknownst to her that Bruce was Batman. Later, hypnotist Tito Daka attacks the Crowne elder home in a bid for him to be made the beneficiary of the will of every resident there, or else he will cause the hypnotized elders to attack each other. Batman was confronted by a hypnotized Linda, who threatened to shoot him. But by asking her to listen to his voice, by extension revealing his identity as Bruce Wayne, she breaks out and knocks out Daka instead. Later, Bruce talks with Linda, who revealed that while she did not remember who Batman was, she still held great disdain for Batman who she felt endangered the innocents here, and she will work closely with the district attorney to make sure Tito Daka never see the light of day. Back at Wayne Manor, Bruce burns the letter he wrote in the fireplace, giving up any attempt to continue his relationship with her.

Hartley is invited to the mansion of Roman Richards, an affluent man who collects abandoned hero and villain technology and costumes. He asks Hartley to verify if the pipe that is in Roman's possession is really one of Hartley's or not. Hartley confirms that this is the original pipe. Roman reveals that a long time ago, he was affected by Hartley's music during a bank robbery and explains that it was a freeing experience to be released of his self-control. Roman asks Hartley to play the pipe again to be fully released but the Pied Piper uses it to put Roman to sleep instead.
