Synopsis for Superman & Batman: "Showdown at Gotham City"
The Penguin and Terra-Man team up to exploit an actor who has been hypnotized into believing himself to be the Wild West outlaw Butch Cassidy. Then they hypnotize Superman into thinking he is the Sundance Kid, and set him against Batman. The villains' plan backfires when the actor they hypnotized turns against them as he used to know the real Sundance Kid and he breaks Penguin's control over Superman, allowing the heroes to capture them and put and end to their criminal spree.

Synopsis for Green Arrow & Black Canary: "The Relativity of Auntie Gravity"
An old woman develops anti-gravity telekinetic powers after exposure to pollutants, calls herself Auntie Gravity, and leads her three nephews on a robbery spree in Star City. She resists Green Arrow's and Black Canary's attempts to capture her, and levitates City Hall into the air, with the mayor and city council inside. Her fee for restoring them unharmed: the entire city budget for the fiscal year. GA and Black Canary try another trap, but Auntie Gravity pulls Green Arrow telekinetically off the ground and starts him spinning like a top, until the force is so great he can no longer breathe.
