Synopsis for Batman and the New Wonder Woman: "The Widow-Maker!"
When Willi Van Dort (son of the Nazi war criminal General Van Dort) plans to use unsportsmanlike means to win a race by having Bruce Wayne killed, Batman enters the race, and with the help of Diana Prince and I-Ching wins the race instead of Van Dort, who was willing to win by any means, even murdering Batman. After Batman wins the race with Diana's help, Van Dort and his accomplices are arrested. Wonder Woman also gets into some trouble with the law when it turns out the car she thought was a rental was the wrong one and was reported stolen.
