Synopsis for "Rise of the Batmen, Part Five: Enemy at the Gates"

In a flashback, Colonel Kane attends a top-secret briefing that marks the inception of the Colony. Midway through, his pager buzzes with the news that his daughter, Kate, has been found. He rushes to her location and discovers a young Kate at her mother’s grave. The two share a heartfelt conversation about their grief, and Kate reveals her desire to become a soldier and fight alongside him.

Flashing forward to the present, Batman and his team launch their assault on the Colony’s hideout. Batman and Batwoman coordinate the mission: Clayface is tasked with clearing a path to the upper floors, Red Robin is sent to disable the computer systems, and Orphan is assigned to secure the upper deck.

Red Robin confronts Ulysses Hadrian Armstrong, who reveals the Colony’s computer is tracking a significant number of targets across Gotham. Before Red Robin can stop him, Ulysses escapes, leaving Red Robin to face a squad of Colony soldiers. Spoiler, working remotely, triggers their grenades to detonate, saving Red Robin.

The team advances to the upper levels with the help of Clayface, who transforms into an organic bridge. Colonel Kane shoots off Batwoman’s mask, exposing her face. He offers her one last chance to join the Colony and abandon Batman, but she refuses. In response, Colonel Kane orders his troops to attack, only to discover Red Robin has already hacked their helmet communications, rendering them incapacitated.

As the team retreats, Colonel Kane and Ulysses regroup to expedite their plan. Ulysses unveils an army of aerial drones designed to eliminate their targets across Gotham. Despite the risk to innocent lives, Colonel Kane agrees, believing the collateral damage is an acceptable price to eradicate the League of Shadows and their perceived threat.
