After months of living in an underground cavern, Blockbuster re-emerges while Batman and Robin are in the middle of thwarting a robbery. Speaking in the voice of Blockbuster's brother Roland Desmond saves the Batman from certain death. When Batman next encounters Blockbuster, he is knocked out and placed in a coffin by an obscured figure. After a confused Blockbuster turns on the mystery villain, Batman frees himself and knocks out Blockbuster. The mystery villain, however, now revealed as the Outsider, walks away more determined than ever to defeat Batman.
