Synopsis for Batman: "The Blaze"
The Gotham City Police Department capture several criminals thanks to Batman's help and the crooks are all placed on a train rolling towards prison. However, the train is hijacked by a criminal called The Blaze, who diverts the train away from the final destination and frees the prisoners, taking them on as his new henchmen. With his new gang, Blaze requests Commissioner Gordon to call Batman to save him from some criminals.
Gordon calls Batman and he gives the vigilante a bat-badge as a token of respect before informing him about Blaze's situation. Batman and Robin go to the place and fall for the trap set up by Blaze and his thugs, but they manage to free themselves. After a long chase and struggle with the criminals, the Dynamic Duo finally capture them at the Gotham Museum.
