S T O R Y L I N E
Third-rate mob stumble-bum, Sidney Debris, crawls to crime
kingpin Rupert Thorne begging for help. It seems Sidney has
done the impossible and become the man who killed Batman.
Sidney explains (in a flashback that takes up most of the episode)
that while he was acting as look-out for drug-runners, Batman
surprised him on a warehouse roof. The two struggled, and Sid's
bumbling caused Batman to pitch off the roof and into a shed of explosive
gas. After the ensuing fire, the only thing found was Batman's cape and cowl.
At first lauded as a hero by the underworld, Sidney soon became the man
to beat. Suddenly everybody wanted a piece of the man who killed Batman,
particularly the Joker, who had his henchwench Harley bring Sidney to him
for corroboration of the tale. Once the Joker believed Batman was gone,
his grief was considerable, and he held a wake for the Dark Knight at the
chemical plant where they first "met."
