Synopsis for Batman and the Atom: "Death Has a Golden Grab!"
A computer glitch causes several malfunctions across the computers on the country and Batman investigates along with Ray Palmer, but they are unable to find hard evidence. Instead, criminal charges are filed against Ray Palmer and Bruce Wayne after they have apparently made illegal transactions, forcing the heroes to use their secret identities to find the responsible behind the setup.
Batman and Atom locate a secret agent who claims that he is working to solve the technological issues, but when they investigate the man's background, they find that he is not who he claims to be. The heroes confront the man after they learn that he is behind the framing of Wayne and Palmer. Batman is knocked unconscious, leaving Atom to deal with the criminal.
Once they have captured the phony secret agent, Batman and Atom are able to clear Wayne and Palmer's names in the eyes of the law and all computer systems return to normal.
