I'm used to fighting super-freaks and world-class maniacs. They don't seem as...real as these losers.

Synopsis for "Bright Lights, Gotham City"

Argent comes to Gotham City in the hopes of being trained by Robin. Robin has his hands full with his most recent partner, Spoiler, but he recognizes Toni's commitment to crime-fighting. Spoiler, however, feels that Argent is a threat to her growing relationship to Robin and wants her gone as quick as possible. Argent tries to assist Robin in bringing down an international drug smuggler, but her investigation uncovers a harrowing fact -- the ringleader is her own father -- Senator Anthony Monetti.
