Synopsis for "Silent Partner"
Nightwing confronts Batman over his funding of the Outsiders, although Batman doesn't see why this is a problem for Nightwing - it was simply irrelevant information as far as he is concerned. Earlier, Arsenal had confessed tha much of his intel had come from Batman, so this naturally comes up in the conversation as well. However, Batman denies all knowledge of this, and when Nightwing calls Arsenal, his colleague is also talking to Batman. Only it's not Batman - it is Deathstroke, who has been feeding Arsenal information for his own purposes, and now that this impostor has been exposed, he plans to kill Arsenal.
