Synopsis for Batman and the Metal Men: "More Than Human!"
Ruby Ryder and Bruce Wayne summon the Metal Men to open a 100-year-old time capsule, liberating a super-powerful robotic man named Jason Morgan. Surprisingly, a real Jason Morgan appears, destroys the robot humanoid and becomes devoted to Ruby.
In the ensuing investigations, Batman and the Metal Men discover that the humanoid was built by Ruby herself in order to retrieve the last will of the notorious scientist, Thaddeus Morgan, who placed the document in the time capsule. She built the humanoid in resemblance to Jason Morgan in order to claim the inheritance, but with the real Morgan by her side, she has no trouble convincing the authorities about the veracity of the claim.
As a result of this, Ruby ends up taking control of the Wayne Foundation and Jason Morgan destroys Tin, leaving Batman and the Metal Men unable to do anything about it.
