Synopsis for Superman and Batman: "Super-Batwoman and the Super-Creature"
Batman and Robin go to investigate reports of a strange creature that is reportedly robbing the J.C. Fist Gems store. When they arrive they are shocked to find that all reports are true. When they try to stop the creature they find that it has a number of different powers to keep them at bay. Batwoman arrives on the scene, and spotting the crooks getaway car attaches a phosphorescent paint can to the back of the car so she can track it later. Superman also arrives and tries to stop the creature but finds that they are an equal match. The heroes are forced to break off their fight when the creature ignites the oil on a fuel barge, allowing the crooks and their creature to escape.
While Batman, Robin and Superman try to make sense of the situation, Batwoman follows the crooks back to their hideout and learns that the creature is controlled by Luthor who has a device that controls the creature. When she is spotted, she accidentally hits one of the controls causing the creature to be bombarded with energy that is reflected into Batwoman giving her super powers. Luthor grabs the controls and escapes with his creature as the thugs try to escape out the front door and are easily captured by Batman, Robin and Superman.
While Batman and Robin locate a map pinpointing locations where Luthor may strike next, Batwoman flies off to recruit Superman and the four heroes begin their search to try and find Luthor and his creature. When they track Luthor to the scene of his next crime, the heroes try to stop the creature. However, Luthor soon learns that as a result of the strange ray reflection in their previous encounter his device can also control Batwoman, and he uses her to keep Superman busy while he, the creature and his men can escape. Using clues found at the crime scene, Batman and Robin track Luthor to his hideout where the four heroes attack once again. This time, Superman reverses the controls for the creature, which results in the creature's destruction. When Luthor is captured, he tries to control Batwoman once more but finds that not only were her powers taken away when the creature was destroyed, but his ability to control her as well.
