While on stage she says the words .''Riddler Will Rise. ''Then Gas began to fly out off the stage and head towards the audience. The doors sealed and panic ensued. People with Gas masks like Riddler Two-Face and Penguin put them on. Batman put his on and ran towards the stage. Batman grabbed Laura and took her backstage and realised she was Hypnotised. He told her to leave and he went back inside and saw the dead bodies of the memebers of the audience and the now opened doors. Batman then returned to the Batcave.
