DO YOU KNOW WHY
IT'S CALLED BEGINNER'S LUCK?

I'LL GIVE YOU A CLUE.

IT'S BECAUSE
IT'S UNEXPECTED

AND BECAUSE IT
DOESN'T LAST.

AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED,
IT'LL LAST

FOR 13 LIFE SENTENCES.

I LOVE PUZZLES,

BUT YOURS, ROOKIE CROW,
IS MISSING A FEW PIECES.

HOW DID YOU SOLVE
CLUEMASTER'S RIDDLE?

I KNOW IT'S JUST
MY FIRST DAY,

BUT A LITTLE ADVICE--

DON'T ADVERTISE
THE CRIME YOU'RE
ABOUT TO COMMIT

IF YOU DON'T WANT
TO GET CAUGHT.

BUT THAT'S HOW I SHOWCASE

THE SHEER STUPIDITY
OF MANKIND.

I PROVIDE THE AUTHORITIES
WITH ALL THE CLUES

AND THEN WATCH
AS THEY SCREW IT
ALL UP ANYWAY.

I'M SORRY YOUR VIEW
OF MANKIND IS SO BLEAK.

GET WELL.

NO ONE HAS EVER MATCHED
WITS WITH THE MASTER.

TELL ME HOW YOU DID IT.

MOORE, PLEASE.
I MUST KNOW.

YOU HAVE THE REST
OF YOUR LIFE IN HERE
TO FIGURE IT OUT.

ERR!

SUN'S UP, FUN'S UP, BROWN.
GET UP.

BROWN.

WHAT THE?

UGH!

LUKE,
SO NOT TO BACKSEAT HERO,

BUT MAYBE LEAVE
ONE CONSCIOUS

TO PLANT THE TRACKER.

TAKES ALL THE FUN
OUT OF IT.

AAH!

HYAH!

UNH!

AGH!

WHERE'S BLACK MASK?

LET ME GUESS.
YOU'RE MORE SCARED

OF HIM THAN YOU ARE
OF ME.

YOU HAVE A CODE.
HE DOESN'T. DO THE MATH.

I LOVE MATH.
HERE'S SOME.

THERE ARE 3 BONES
IN YOUR ANKLE.

IF I BREAK TWO,
HOW MANY ARE LEF--

FREEZE.

HANDS IN THE AIR.

YOU GOT TO BE
KIDDING ME.

HE'S OURS. BACK
THE HELL AWAY.

KIND OF IN THE MIDDLE
OF SOMETHING.

KIND OF GONNA SHOOT
YOU IN THE FACE.

HANDS IN THE AIR.

NOW!

YOU HEARING THIS?

I KNOW IT'S TEMPING,
BUT DON'T.

YOU WANT TO KNOW
WHY YOU GUYS SUCK?

AND HERE WE GO.

IT'S NOT JUST BECAUSE
YOU DON'T CARE

ABOUT 99% OF THE PEOPLE
IN THIS CITY

OR JUST BECAUSE YOU LIE
AND YOU CHEAT

AND YOU COVER UP MURDERS.

IT'S BECAUSE YOU LEGIT
SUCK AT YOUR JOB.

5 SECONDS
UNTIL WE SHOOT.

I PUT A TRACKER
ON HIS BOOT, MORON.

GUY HAD NO IDEA.
HE WOULD HAVE LED ME

BACK TO BLACK MASK,

I WOULD HAVE HAD
THE UPPER HAND,

AND THE MOST DANGEROUS MAN
IN GOTHAM

WOULD HAVE BEEN
BEHIND BARS!

INSTEAD, YOUR ALPHA ASSES
SHOW UP LATE

ACTING LIKE I WAS
THE ENEMY,

AND THEY GAVE ME TIME
TO DO THIS.

I'VE SEEN MY FAIR SHARE
OF TORTURE TOYS

IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

I THINK SHE KNOWS
WHAT I MEAN,

BUT, UM, WHAT THE HELL
IS THAT?

OH, YOU DON'T NEED
TO WORRY ABOUT THIS.

I'D RATHER YOU USE YOUR
ENERGY CONJURING UP A NAME.

GLADLY.

WHEN YOU CRASHED
MY SNAKEBITE COOKOUT
LAST NIGHT,

YOU BROUGHT A FRIEND--

BATWOMAN.

FRIEND? HA HA HA!

NO. THAT CONNIVING,
POINTY-EARED MANIPULATOR

LED ME DOWN
THE GARDEN PATH

OF PARTNERSHIP AND TRUST

ONLY TO STAB ME
IN THE BACK,

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?

IT'S MY FAULT.
I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN.

YOU PUT ON THE SUIT,
YOU'RE NOT HAPPY

UNTIL ALICE IS
BEHIND BARS,

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT
REALLY IRKS ME--

SHUT UP!

I'M THE ONE DOING
THE TORTURING HERE,
NOT YOU.

GIVE ME HER NAME
SO I CAN DESTROY
HER LIFE

THE WAY SHE DESTROYED
MY BUSINESS.

IT ELUDES ME.

YOU'RE LYING.

BLACK MASK ENJOYS
PEOPLE MAKING IT

DIFFICULT FOR THEMSELVES.

WELL, THEN I'M
YOUR GIRL.

NOW IF THAT DOESN'T PRY
SOMETHING OUT OF YOU,

WELL, WE GOT
9 MORE TRIES.

YO. I'M ORDERING
FROM THAT BOMB
VEGAN WING PLACE.

YOU WANT ME TO
ORDER YOU SOMETHING?

RYAN, HEY.

WHY IS THERE
A CROW IN OUR LOFT?

I THOUGHT YOU WERE
WORKING LATE.

I WAS, BUT THEN
DRAMA SHOWED UP

AND RUINED MY NIGHT,
SO I CUT OUT EARLY.

WHY IS CROWPHIE HERE?

WE WERE JUST HANGING OUT.

I DIDN'T REALIZE
I HAD TO RUN GUESTS BY YOU.

YOU DON'T.
IT'S JUST...HER?

OK. LOOK. I'M NOT HERE
TO ADD TO YOUR DRAMA.

THE GUYS AT WORK
SENT ME TEQUILA

FOR MY 5-YEAR
ANNIVERSARY,

AND I WANTED TO SHARE IT
WITH SOMEONE.

YOU'RE WELCOME
TO JOIN US.

AND HONESTLY, BASED
ON THE VIBAGE

THAT YOU JUST WALKED
IN HERE WITH,

IT KIND OF SEEMS LIKE
YOU COULD USE

SOME ULTRA-EXPENSIVE
TEQUILA RIGHT NOW.

SO AM I SUPPOSED
TO JUST ACT LIKE

I'M COOL WITH HER
BEING HERE?

AS A LESBIAN WHO WAS
MARRIED TO A MAN
FOR 3 YEARS,

I WILL SAY DRINKING
IS THE KEY TO DENIAL.

I THOUGHT
YOU WERE BI.

YEAH. THERE'S A LOT
WE DON'T KNOW

ABOUT EACH OTHER
YET, RYAN.

LAST HALLOWEEN.

OH. THE O.G.
MAKES MORE SENSE.

WHY DOES IT

I DON'T KNOW, RYAN.

SO WE'RE GOOD, RIGHT?

WAIT. I DON'T THINK
WE'RE THE TARGET,

AND I DON'T THINK

WHAT?

"A GIRL'S BEEN POISONED.

"

"CAN YOU SAVE HER
BEFORE MIDNIGHT?

"I'LL GIVE YOU A CLUE,

"PROBABLY NOT.
LOVE...

CLUEMASTER."

OK. WHO THE HELL
IS CLUEMASTER AGAIN?

EVER WATCH "QUIZ BOWL"
BACK IN THE DAY?

UH, IS THAT
THE "JEOPARDY!" RIP-OFF?

NOT ON PURPOSE.

THE HOST ARTHUR BROWN
GOT FIRED

AND WENT
ON A MURDERING SPREE.

ALONG THE WAY,
HE LAID OUT CLUES
FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT

TO FIGURE OUT
WHERE HIS NEXT KILL WOULD BE.

IT STUMPED EVERYONE
FOR WEEKS.

CALLED HIMSELF CLUEMASTER.

GUYS, ARTHUR BROWN
ESCAPED BLACKGATE TODAY.

OH, FINE.
I'LL CALL MY DAD,

TELL HIM
WE MADE CONTACT.

NO, YOU CAN'T.

THIS IS ALL A PART
OF CLUEMASTER'S GAME.

IF WE INVOLVE
THE AUTHORITIES,

HE'S GONNA SEE IT
AS CHEATING.

HE'S TOYING WITH ME.

GETTING HIS REVENGE.

-FOR WHAT?
-HE THINKS HE'S

THE MOST BRILLIANT MIND
IN GOTHAM.

HE BELIEVES I'M
THE ONLY PERSON WHO'S

EVER SOLVED
ONE OF HIS PUZZLES,

AND IT'S DRIVING HIM
CRAZY.

OK. WELL, IT'S TIME
TO SOLVE ANOTHER ONE.

YEAH. "A GIRL'S
BEEN POISONED.

"

"CAN YOU SAVE HER
BEFORE MIDNIGHT?

"I'LL GIVE YOU A CLUE,

PROBABLY NOT."

THANKS. THAT'S NOT
A CLUE.

IT'S GOT TO BE.
HE'S VERY SPECIFIC

ABOUT THE WORDS HE USES.

HAS HE EVER CALLED
YOU HOT SHOT BEFORE?

NOT THAT I KNOW OF.
WHY?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I'M MAKING
HOT SHOTS.

OK. THAT'S KIND OF SEXY.

ANYBODY RECOGNIZE
THIS SYMBOL?

I DO.
I KNOW WHERE TO GO.

AAH!

KANE.

HI. I KNOW I'M
PROBABLY

THE LAST PERSON
YOU EXPECTED TO CALL.

WHO IS THIS?

IT'S ALICE.
UM, BETH.

HELLO?

I DON'T...

I--I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

I NEED YOU TO TRACE
THIS CALL

AND COME RESCUE ME.

I'M BEING HELD
BY BLACK MASK,

AND THE FACT THAT
I AM S.O.S.ing
THE MAN

WHO HAD SEVERAL
SHOOT-TO-KILL
ORDERS ON ME

SHOULD UNDERSCORE
MY DESIRE TO GET
THE HELL OUT OF HERE.

JACOB KANE?

HELLO?

YOU HAVE
THE WRONG NUMBER.

DADDY!

DADDY?

SO WAIT.
CLUEMASTER KNEW

YOU'D RECOGNIZE SOME
RANDOM-ASS LOGO

IN THE MIDDLE
OF NOWHERE?

IT'S LOCKED.
GIVE ME A BOOST!

AFTER I PUT
HIM AWAY,

HE BECAME OBSESSED
WITH ME,

WHERE I WENT TO SCHOOL,
WHERE I TRAINED,

WHAT KIND OF TEQUILA
I DRINK.

HE COULDN'T FIGURE OUT
HOW SOME ROOKIE CROW

COULD SOLVE A PUZZLE
THAT NO ONE ELSE COULD.

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
WAIT. WHAT?

I DON'T NEED A BOOST?

YOU'LL BE FINE.

HEH HEH.

FIRST FENCE?

IT'LL COME
AS A SHOCK TO YOU,

BUT B&E DOESN'T
COME NATURALLY.

START LOOKING
FOR OUR VIC,

KEEP YOUR GUARD UP.

WHAT WAS
THIS PUZZLE ABOUT?

"QUIZ BOWL" WAS
THROWING A PARTY

TO HONOR
THE GAME SHOW'S
TOP WINNERS.

ARTHUR ALWAYS THOUGHT
THE WRITERS DUMBED
DOWN THE QUESTIONS

TO APPEAL TO
A WIDER AUDIENCE, SO...

HE PUT A RIDDLE
IN THE "GAZETTE,"

SAID HE WAS GONNA
BOMB THE PARTY.

SO HOW DID YOU
SOLVE IT?

THE TRUTH--
I DIDN'T.

ALL ROOKIES SPEND
A YEAR ON THE TIP LINE,

AND ON MY
VERY FIRST DAY,

A GIRL CALLED IN
FRANTIC,

TOLD ME ABOUT THE PUZZLE,
THEN TOLD ME WHAT IT MEANT.

I WAS PROMOTED
TO FIELD AGENT

THE VERY NEXT DAY.

BECAUSE YOU LIED
AND TOOK CREDIT

FOR SOMETHING
YOU DIDN'T DO.

YOU DON'T THINK
IT HAUNTED ME

EVERY TIME I STRAPPED
ON A GUN MY FIRST YEAR

THAT MAYBE I DIDN'T
DESERVE TO BE THERE?

SO WHOSE GLORY
DID YOU STEAL?

SOMEONE WHO BEGGED ME
TO KEEP HER IDENTITY
A SECRET, SO I DID.

THIS WILL COME
AS A SHOCK TO YOU,

BUT I CAN BE TRUSTED.

GUYS!

"JUST A NIP
SHOULD DO THE TRICK."

IT'S AN ANTIHISTAMINE.

IT'LL COUNTERACT
THE POISON.

HELP! HELP! HELP ME!
HELP!

WHAT DID HE DO
TO HER?

OH, MY GOD.
IT'S STEPHANIE BROWN,

CLUEMASTER'S DAUGHTER.

HELP! HELP ME!

-AGENT MOORE!
-STEPHANIE, WE'RE GONNA
GET YOU OUT OF THERE.

HOW? TH-THERE'S
NO LOCK, NO DOOR.

WHAT IS...THIS?

DID--DID HE POISON ME?

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

JUST RELAX, OK?

MY DAD POISONED ME
AND LOCKED ME IN A BOX!

YOU RELAX!

HANG TIGHT.

WELL, THANKS. YEAH.
WHERE ELSE AM I GONNA GO?

OHH!

AND YOUR BRILLIANT
PLAN WILL BE?

WE'RE AT A FIRING RANGE.

-WE SHOOT IT OPEN.
-WITH THE GIRL INSIDE?

WOULD YOU GUYS
SHUT UP?

WHAT ARE THOSE?

I FOUND THESE
UNDER THE RAILING

CHAINED TO THAT GUN.

-IT'S ONE OF HIS PUZZLES.
-EXACTLY.

SO IF YOU TWO WOULD JUST
RELEASE EACH OTHER'S THROATS

FOR TWO SECONDS, MAYBE
WE COULD ACTUALLY

FIGURE THIS THING OUT.

-4 TARGETS.
-YEAH.

-4 BULLETS.
-THAT'S HOW WE GET HER OUT.

LOOK. WE HIT EACH
OF THOSE TARGETS

IN THIS SPECIFIC
COLOR ORDER.

TOO EASY.
THE BLOCKS DETACH
FROM THE CHAIN,

WHICH MEANS THEY'RE
PROBABLY NOT IN ORDER.

BESIDES, THOSE SYMBOLS
HAVE TO MEAN SOMETHING.

OK. ALPHABETICAL
BY ANIMAL THEN?

OK. SO, UH, BIRD
BOBCAT, FLY, AND THEN SPIDER.

BOBCAT? THAT'S A PUMA,
WHICH MEANS IT COMES
AFTER FLY.

IT'S A BOBCAT,
WHICH MEANS IT COMES BEFORE.

YOU WANT TO BET
HER LIFE ON IT?

HEY! THERE'S A GIRL
DYING IN A BOX. THINK.

IF THEY'RE NOT
IN THE RIGHT ORDER,
WHY CHAIN THEM TOGETHER

IN THE FIRST PLACE?

FOOD CHAIN.

THEY ARE IN PECKING ORDER.

-OK BOBCAT/
-PUMA EATS BIRD,

BIRD EATS SPIDER,
AND SPIDER EATS FLY.

LET'S FIND OUT.

WHOA, WHOA! WHO SAID
YOU WERE SHOOTING?

PRETTY SURE
I JUST DID.

ANYONE WANT TO DISCUSS
THE 5 SHOTS OF TEQUILA

-YOU DOWNED TONIGHT?
-MARY.

-YEAH?
-PICK.

SOMEONE WHO
PROBABLY HOLDS

A HIGH SCORE
IN DUCK HUNT

OR A MILITARY
MARKSMAN?

UNLESS YOU HAVE SOME
SHARPSHOOTER SKILLS

-YOU'D LIKE TO DISCLOSE.
-GO FOR IT.

THANK YOU.
NOW BACK UP.

OHH!

ANY QUESTIONS?

NOPE.

HEY. DRINK THIS,
DRINK THIS.

UGH.

IT'S GONNA BE OK.

NO. IT'S NOT.

WHAT?

I DON'T THINK HE'S DONE.

WORD OF ADVICE.

THE LAST PERSON
WHO TRIED TO ONE-UP ME

ENDED UP
WITH HIS EYES GOUGED OUT

LIKE TWO OLIVES
ON A TOOTHPICK.

NOW THAT MAKES ME
WANT A MARTINI.

WELL, JUST TELL BLACK MASK
WHO BATWOMAN IS,

AND YOU'LL BE DRINKING
ONE SOON.

HERE'S THE THING.
I COULD,

BUT THEN I WOULDN'T
HAVE THE SATISFACTION
OF KILLING HER MYSELF.

IT'S PERSONAL,
BUT I'VE HAD
LIMITED SUCCESS

WITH MY VENGEANCE GAMES
AS OF LATE,

AND QUITE FRANKLY,
IT'S LEFT ME FEELING
RATHER...

PBB...UNFULFILLED.

FEELINGS. HOW AWFUL.

I HOPE IT'S
WORTH YOUR LIFE

ONE...EYEBALL...
AT A TIME.

FUNNY STORY.

YOU REMIND ME
OF AN INMATE I HEARD OF

AT ARKHAM.

SWEET CIRCE SIONIS.

POKED THE BABY BLUES OUT
OF SOME CORPORATE BIGWIG.

MY MOUSE AND I USED TO
CALL HER "CAN'T CEO KILLER."

AHH. MEMORIES.

HE DESERVED IT.

WHO, DEAR?

THE CORPORATE BIGWIG.

HE CROSSED A LINE,
AND I HAD TO MAKE SURE

HE NEVER FOUND
HIS WAY BACK.

YOU. YOU GOUGED
HIS EYEBALLS OUT.

TSK, TSK, TSK, TSK.

WHY, IF IT ISN'T
CIRCE SIONIS.

I HEARD THAT YOU WERE
TRAMPLED TO DEATH

IN THE ARKHAM BREAKOUT.

ON THE CONTRARY.
I WAS RESCUED BY MY FATHER.

AND DID YOU GET
THOSE HORRIFIC BURNS

BEFORE OR AFTER
DADDY SAVED YOU?

TOUCHY SUBJECT?

ENOUGH ABOUT ME.

IT'S TIME TO TALK
ABOUT BATWOMAN.

BRING ME BLACK MASK.

I'LL TELL HIM EXACTLY
WHAT HE WANTS TO HEAR.

SO YOU WOKE UP
TO DISCOVER

YOU WERE COVERED
IN SOME CODED MESSAGE?

YOU SAY THAT
LIKE YOUR DAD DOESN'T WRITE

CRYPTOGRAMS ON YOU
WHILE YOU'RE UNCONSCIOUS.

GOT TO BE A CLUE
TO HIS NEXT MOVE.

SPOILER ALERT--HIS NEXT MOVE
IS KILLING YOU, AGENT MOORE.

I SWEAR WHEN I ASKED
YOU TO COVER FOR ME

I HAD NO IDEA HE'D BECOME
SO OBSESSED WITH YOU.

IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.

HOLD UP. YOU WERE THE ONE
WHO SOLVED

CLUEMASTER'S PUZZLE
BACK IN THE DAY?

AGENT MOORE TOOK
THE BULLET.

THERE'S GOT TO BE
A KEY BUILT IN.

IF I CAN FIND THE KEY,
I CAN CRACK THE MESSAGE

AND STOP HIM BEFORE HE MAKES
HIS MOVE ON YOU.

WHY WOULD YOUR DAD
DO THIS TO YOU?

I GREW UP TRYING
TO SOLVE HIS PUZZLES.

AS I GOT BETTER,
HE USED ME AS A BAROMETER.

IF I COULDN'T SOLVE THEM,
THEY WERE GOOD,

SO THIS MORNING
AFTER HE FLEW THE COOP,

HE PAID ME A VISIT.

HE THOUGHT I'D BE
HIS PARTNER IN CRIME,

TRIED TO ENLIST ME
IN HIS LITTLE REVENGE SCHEME.

HE SAID THAT IT TOOK
EINSTEIN 10 YEARS

TO CRACK GENERAL RELATIVITY,

SO HE WANTED HIS MASTERPIECE
TO TAKE HALF THAT TIME.

5 YEARS,

HENCE THE FIFTH
ANNIVERSARY OF ME
ARRESTING HIM.

HE SAID NOW HE CAN FINALLY
FINISH WHAT HE STARTED.

AND LET ME GUESS.

WE WON'T KNOW
WHAT THAT IS UNTIL
YOU CRACK THAT THING,

WHICH IS WHEN?

JUST ME? I DON'T KNOW.

IT COULD TAKE HOURS,
IT COULD TAKE DAYS.

WHAT IF THERE WERE
TWO OF YOU?

IT'S A CRYPTOGRAM.

WELL, THANKS
FROM LAST YEAR.

THOUGHT YOU GUYS SAID HE
WAS A HUMAN COMPUTER.

WHERE'S THE RAM?

I'M SORRY.
WHO ARE YOU EXACTLY?

SEE IF YOU CAN
FIGURE IT OUT.

I'M SMARTER THAN MY KING.
MY TECHNOLOGY PROTECTS WAKANDA.

YOUR NAME IS SHURI?

AW. YOU THINK IT'D BE
AS EASY AS KISSING A FROG.

WHAT IS HAPPENING?

-NO IDEA.
-I THINK IT'S HOW NERDS FLIRT.

I WOKE A MONSTER BY READING
FROM THE BOOK OF THE DEAD.

I HELPED LAY
AN IRON GIANT TO REST.

AS SMART AS I'M MIGHTY,
THE CHOSEN ONE STILL GETS
ALL THE CREDIT.

STEPHANIE.

I HAVE TO ADMIT.
I WAS NOT EXPECTING
YOU TO GET THAT.

UH, THE FIRST LETTER
OF EVERY ANSWER

TO HER CLUES
OF BADASS LADIES

SPELLED OUT HER NAME.

CLEVER. SHURI, TIANA,
EVIE, PEPPER, HERMIONE--

GREAT. UM, YEAH.
SO IF WE ARE

THROUGH THE FOREPLAY
SECTION OF THE NIGHT,

CAN YOU TWO GEEK OUT
ON HOW TO FIGURE OUT
THAT THING?

"YOU'RE STUMPED"?

NAH. I SEE EXACTLY
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.

HEH!
MRRWW!

"YOU'RE STUMPED."
THAT WAS "QUIZ BOWL'S"

CATCHPHRASE WHENEVER
A CONTESTANT LOST.

HE WROTE IT HERE
AMONG A BUNCH
OF RANDOM LETTERS.

IT'S
A SUBSTITUTION CIPHER.

SO WE HAVE TO ENCRYPT
WHICH UNITS OF PLAINTEXT

HAVE BEEN REPLACED
WITH CIPHERTEXT.

HOW LONG IS THAT
GONNA TAKE?

DEPENDS. UNITS CAN BE
A SINGLE LETTER,

DOUBLE LETTERS, MIXED.

MONOALPHABETIC,
POLYALPHABETIC.

WHERE DO YOU THINK
YOUR DAD IS NOW?

I FIGURE IF WE CAN
FIGURE THAT OUT

THEN WE DON'T HAVE
TO DEAL WITH THIS.

HE SAID HE WANTS
TO FINISH WHAT HE STARTED.

"QUIZ BOWL'S" THE LAST PLACE
HE TRIED BOMBING

BEFORE I STOPPED HIM,
SO KEEP WORKING THIS ANGLE.

WE'LL GO SEE
IF HE'S THERE.

I CAN'T BELIEVE
THIS IS STILL HERE.

HUH.

THIS SHOW ALWAYS
CREEPED ME OUT.

WHAT THE HELL DID WE
JUST STEP ON?

IT'S "QUIZ BOWL" TIME!

HEY!
SHOW YOURSELF!

WELCOME TO A SPECIAL EDITION

OF "QUIZ BOWL,"
AGENT MOORE!

IT'S GOT TO BE
A RECORDING.

I'M YOUR HOST CLUEMASTER
ARTHUR BROWN,

AND YOU...

WE GOT TO GET
OUT OF HERE.

ARE STANDING ON
AN EXPLOSIVE PRESSURE PLATE.

NO. IT'S
WEIGHT-SENSITIVE.

YOU STEP OFF,
IT BLOWS.

HAVE I GOT YOUR ATTENTION?

GOOD! DON'T BLOW UP!

WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK
AFTER A WORD FROM OUR SPONSORS.

C4 IS WIRED
TO THE PLATE.

ANY IDEAS?

THAT WHATEVER WE DO
WE DO IT QUICK?

HE'S NOT HERE.
IT IS A RECORDING

PROBABLY TO DISTRACT
ME FROM THE PUZZLE
HE PUT ON STEPHANIE.

WELCOME BACK
TO "QUIZ BOWL."

CAN YOU FIGURE OUT
A WAY OFF IN TIME?

I'LL GIVE YOU A CLUE.

IN THE END,
YOU'LL SOLVE IT.

UNTIL THEN, ARE YOU
READY TO WIN YOURSELF MORE TIME?

YES. GIVE US MORE TIME.

BUT IF YOU'RE STUMPED,
IT'S INSTANTLY GAME OVER.

GREAT.

LET'S GET
TO THE "QUIZ BOWL."

TODAY'S THEME IS
GOTHAM VILLAINY.

FIRST CLUE.
A POOR MAN'S VERSION CLUEMASTER,

THIS QUESTIONABLE WORDSMITH
TURNS GREEN WITH ENVY

WHEN COMPARED TO ME,

THE PREMIER ENIGMATIST.

A, THE JOKER;

B, POISON IVY;
OR, C, THE RIDDLER?

RIDDLER!

I'M NOT SEEING IT.
YOU?

I THOUGHT THE "Y"
IN YOU'RE WAS
A SUBSTITUTE FOR "S"

AND THAT WOULD MAKE
THE "O" A "Y,"

AND THAT'S WHEN MY EYES
STARTED CROSSING.

TRIED THE CAESAR CIPHER?

THAT'S WAY TOO
BORING FOR HIM.

YEAH. I FIGURED.

WHAT'S THIS? PLAYFAIR?

CLEVER.

YOU KNOW
THE PLAYFAIR CIPHER?

PART OF MIT's MYSTERY HUNT
MY FRESHMAN YEAR.

YOU WENT TO MIT.

CLASS OF '16.

SKIPPED A FEW GRADES.

WHY? DID YOU?

I WAS PLANNING ON IT,
BUT...

NOT SMART ENOUGH?

HEH. UH, LONG STORY.

PUZZLES WERE HOW
I EARNED MY DAD'S AFFECTION.

CALLED ME
HIS LITTLE POINTER.

TURNS OUT HE WAS JUST
TRAINING ME TO BE

HIS PUZZLE-BREAKING
LAB RAT SO THAT HE COULD

TERRORIZE GOTH--

DID YOU CRACK IT?

-"QUIZ BOWL" WAS A DECOY.
-OK.

OK. SO WHERE IS HE?

I'M REALLY SORRY, LUKE.

-WHOO! WE ARE READY!
-COME ON!

HIT ME WITH IT!
LET'S GO!

THIS FROSTY FOE GAVE
THE DARK KNIGHT

A RUN FOR HIS MONEY.

A, MR. FREEZE;
B, THE PENGUIN;

OR, C, CAPTAIN COLD?

A, MR. FREEZE.
WHOA, WHOA. NO. HANG ON!

VICTOR FRIES.
WHEN HIS WIFE GOT SICK,

HE TRIED TO FREEZE HER
TILL THE FOUND A CURE.

"A RUN FOR HIS MONEY."
THE PENGUIN OWNS
ICEBERG LOUNGE,

WHICH HAS
A BACKROOM CASINO.

ANGELIQUE USED TO
WORK THERE.

I STAND CORRECTED.

YOUR FINAL CLUE.

BATWOMAN THWARTED
THIS TALLY-TOTALING HITMAN

JUST AFTER DONNING
HER NEW DO.

A, VICTOR ZSASZ; B--

A!

-PRETTY CONFIDENT.
-I READ ABOUT IT IN THE PAPER.

THAT'S ALL FOR THIS EPISODE
OF "QUIZ BOWL"!

45 MINUTES ON THE CLOCK,

AND REMEMBER, AGENT MOORE,
IN THE END,

YOU'LL SOLVE IT.

WHAT DOES THAT
EVEN MEAN?

WE SHOULD CALL
BATWOMAN.

SHE COULD GET US
OUT OF THIS.

YEAH. BECAUSE THAT'S
A POSSIBILITY.

UH, HOW WOULD WE
EVEN GET AHOLD OF HER?

BAT-SIGNAL.

SO YOU JUST BECKON HER,
AND SHE WHAT,

GRAPPLES ON OVER?

SHE'S SHOWN UP
EVERY TIME I'VE
TURNED IT ON.

WELL, IT'S FRIDAY
AT 2 A.M.

I'M SURE SHE'S BUSY.

YOU'RE PROBABLY
RIGHT, RYAN,

AND WHAT IS YOUR IDEA
AGAIN THAT WE CAN

ACCOMPLISH IN 45 MINUTES?

WE NEED TO REPLACE
OUR WEIGHT

ON THE PRESSURE PLATE
WITH AN EXACT COUNTERWEIGHT.

-AND HOW DO WE DO THAT?
-WE CALL LUKE!

OHH.

THE ONCE-POWERFUL
QUEENPIN OF GOTHAM

NOW PROTECTING
THE CITY'S HERO.
IT'S PATHETIC.

I'VE HAD ENOUGH
OF THIS.

GIVE ME
BATWOMAN'S NAME,

OR END UP ALL OVER
MY MALBEC.

WHAT'S IN A NAME?

CIRCE, BLACK MASK...

ROMAN SIONIS.

WHAT DID YOU DO?

CIRCE TOLD ME HER FATHER
RESCUED HER

FROM THE ARKHAM BREAKOUT,
SO I GOT TO THINKING

HOW WOULD DEAR, OLD DAD FEEL
ABOUT HIS PRECIOUS DAUGHTER

HANGING OUT WITH A GUY
WHO WEARS

A KINKY SKULLCAP?

UNLESS DEAR, OLD DAD
IS THE GUY

IN THE KINKY SKULLCAP.

YOU JUST GAVE ME
3 REASONS TO KILL YOU.

RELAX. THIS IS
A GOOD THING.

YOU HAPPENED TO KIDNAP
GOTHAM'S

MOST ILLUSTRIOUS
SKIN SEAMSTRESS.

I--I MAKE FACES,
HUMAN FACES.

IF YOU WANT YOUR DAUGHTER
TO STOP HIDING

BEHIND THAT CHEESEBOARD,

THEN LET ME HELP YOU.

I CAN GIVE YOU
YOUR BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER BACK.

TELL ME HOW.

OH, I'LL DO ONE BETTER.
I'LL SHOW YOU.

SOPHIE'S RIGHT.
WE NEED BATWOMAN.

UNFORTUNATELY, BATWOMAN
IS STANDING ON A BOMB
AT THE MOMENT.

DOESN'T HAVE TO BE.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
YOU WANT ME TO TELL SOPHIE?

MAYBE IT'S NOT
THE WORST THING
IN THE WORLD.

WHAT?!

STILL NO ANSWER.
TRIED 10 TIMES.

OK.
IT'S A PUZZLE, GUYS.

CLUEMASTER SAID,
"IN THE END, YOU'LL SOLVE IT."

WE JUST NEED TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT THAT MEANS.

I ALREADY HAVE.

THE ANSWER IS
THERE IS NO ANSWER.

IN THE END, MEANING
END OF MY LIFE,

I'LL FIGURE THAT OUT.

THE WAY OUT IS TO DIE.

RYAN, WE NEED
TO DO SOMETHING.

EASY TO SAY
FROM THE CHEAP SEATS.

YOU KNOW THIS PRESSURE PLATE
WAS MEANT FOR YOU, RIGHT?

YOU KNOW THERE'S
A TERRORIST ROAMING
SOMEWHERE IN GOTHAM

WHO NEEDS TO BE
STOPPED, RIGHT?

HEY. OK.
THE ARGUING IS NOT HELPING.

SHE IS THE ONE
REFUSING TO TRUST ME.

WHY WOULD A I TRUST YOU?

BECAUSE NOT
TRUSTING ME MEANS
YOU BOTH DIE.

I WILL NEVER TRUST
A CROW, ESPECIALLY YOU.

I NOW YOU'RE
BATWOMAN, RYAN!

HEH. WHAT?!

THAT'S CRAZY.

MARY, PLEASE TELL HER
THAT SOUNDS CRAZY.

IT'S...

INSANE?
THAT'S INSANE.

WE CAN KEEP THIS
LITTLE CHARADE GOING

WHILE YOU'RE BOTH
STANDING ON A BOMB,

OR YOU CAN TELL ME
WHAT TO DO TO SAVE YOU.

GO TO KATE'S OFFICE
AT WAYNE.

THERE'S A NECKLACE
ON THE SHELF.

YOU TURN IT,
AND IT'LL OPEN UP AN ELEVATOR.

IF YOU TAKE IT
ALL THE WAY DOWN,

YOU'LL END UP IN A CAVE
WITH A BUNCH OF GADGETS.

GRAB THE RED-AND-BLACK
BATON.

SMART CHOICE.

I'LL BE BACK.

IT EXPLAINS WHY SOPHIE
CAME OVER

WITH THAT BIG-ASS BOTTLE
OF TEQUILA.

WHAT ARE YOU
EVEN TALKING ABOUT?

SHE WAS TRYING TO
LIQUOR YOU UP--

BECAUSE WE BOTH KNOW
YOU CAN TALK--

TO GET YOU TO CONFIRM
HER SUSPICIONS ABOUT ME.

SHE WOULD NEVER
DO THAT.

REALLY? WHY? BECAUSE
SHE'S YOUR FRIEND?

YOU AND LUKE WERE
ON MY ASS

FOR PUTTING ANGELIQUE'S
LIFE BEFORE PROTECTING
MY IDENTITY.

WHERE'S YOUR CONCERN
FOR IT NOW?

I DON'T THINK THAT
THIS IS ABOUT PROTECTING
YOUR IDENTITY.

REALLY? THEN WHAT
IS THIS ABOUT?

THAT YOU HATE
THE CROWS SO MUCH

YOU CAN'T THINK
RATIONALLY.

I KNOW YOUR HISTORY
WITH THEM,

AND I KNOW HOW AWFUL
THEY WERE TO YOU,

BUT WE'RE STANDING
ON A BOMB, RYAN,

AND YOU WOULD RATHER
WATCH IT TICK DOWN
WITH ME ON IT

THAN TRUST
A LEGITIMATELY
GOOD PERSON,

SO THANK GOD SOPHIE
KNEW YOU WERE BATWOMAN

BECAUSE NOW WE MIGHT
ACTUALLY HAVE A CHANCE
AT NOT DYING.

MY CHILDHOOD HOME?

I'LL GIVE YOU A CLUE.

YOUR PUZZLES ARE
GETTING EASIER.

ON THE CONTRARY, POINTER.

YOU'RE GETTING SMARTER,
MAYBE EVEN SMARTER THAN ME.

YOU KNOW IT'S A DOG,
RIGHT?

WHY ARE YOU WEARING
THAT CREEPY OUTFIT?

FOR YEARS, I HELD
A GRUDGE AGAINST
A QUIZ SHOW

FOR DUMBING DOWN
THEIR ANSWERS.

MY WORLD WAS
SO TINY BACK THEN.

OH, BUT THERE'S NOTHING
LIKE 5 YEARS IN PRISON

TO EXPOSE YOU TO ALL
THE IGNORANCE

AND STUPIDITY
ON THIS PLANET.

LET'S WEED THEM OUT
TOGETHER.

WHAT, BECAUSE YOU'RE
SUCH A GENIUS?

YOUR FIGHT'S NOT
WITH AGENT MOORE.

NO ROOKIE COP'S SMART
ENOUGH TO OUTWIT THE MASTER.

YOU DON'T GET IT.
SHE DIDN'T OUTWIT YOU.

THEN WHY DID I SPEND
THE LAST 5 YEARS
BEHIND BARS?

BECAUSE I PUT YOU
THERE.

I SAW YOUR PUZZLE
IN THE "GAZETTE,"
I SOLVED IT.

I SPOILED YOUR PLANS
BY CALLING THE CROWS.

AGENT MOORE ANSWERED.
I BEGGED HER TO SAY
THAT IT WAS HER

SO THAT YOU WOULDN'T
DO TO ME WHAT YOU
WERE GONNA DO

TO ALL THOSE INNOCENT
QUIZ BOWL WINNERS.

I TAUGHT YOU,
I NURTURED YOU,

I--I MADE YOU
IN MY IMAGE.

WHY WOULD YOU BETRAY ME?
WE'RE THE SAME.

ONE DIFFERENCE, DAD.
YOU'RE GOING BACK
TO PRISON.

WHAT?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING, DAD?

WHAT, YOU'RE GONNA
KILL US BOTH?

LIFE IS A PUZZLE,
STEPHANIE.

THIS IS THE ONLY PIECE
THAT FITS.

NO. NO! DAD,

UNLOCK THE DOOR!

STEPHANIE, GET DOWN!
GET DOWN!

HEY. YOU OK?

HOW DID YOU FIND ME?

JUST BECAUSE I DIDN'T
GO TO MIT

DOESN'T MEAN
I DIDN'T GET IN.

I'M SORRY, MARY.
YOU'RE RIGHT.

I DON'T TRUST HER,
AND NOW IT'S GONNA
GET US KILLED.

IT'S JUST...

WHEN I WALKED IN
TONIGHT

AND INTERRUPTED
GIRL TALK

BETWEEN YOU
AND SOPHIE--

IF YOU WANT TO
TALK, MARY,
TALK TO ME.

SHE THINKS MY DAD'S
ON SNAKEBITE.

WHAT?! YOU'RE--
NO WAY.

YEAH. THAT'S
WHAT I SAID,

BUT SHE FOUND
A USED SYRINGE
IN HIS OFFICE, AND...

IT DOES.

IT MATCHES SOME
STRANGE BEHAVIOR,

AND IF YOU THINK
ABOUT EVERYTHING
THAT HE'S LOST--

BOTH WIVES, BETH,
KATE.

I MEAN, AFTER HE CLOSED
DOWN THE CLINIC,

HE PRETTY MUCH
LOST ME, TOO.

CAN YOU BLAME HIM
FOR WANTING TO
ESCAPE ALL THIS?

SOPHIE JUST...WANTED
TO CHECK IN ON ME.

SHE JUST WANTS TO
SEE ME HAPPY.

WELL, LET'S JUST HOPE
SHE WANTS TO SEE
YOU ALIVE.

PRETTY SURE SHE DOES.

I GOT IT!
WHAT'S THE PLAN?

GO UP TO THE BIG
STAGEDOOR, OPEN IT
ALL THE WAY,

AND TAKE COVER!

-WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
-GO!

WHAT--WHAT THE? UGH!

HANG ON.

YOU OK?

THAT...WAS...AWESOME!

HA HA HA!
HA HA HA!

LIKE I SAID,
YOU CAN TRUST ME.

HE COULDN'T STAND
TO LIVE IN A WORLD

WHERE I WAS SMARTER
THAN HIM.

WELL, ACCORDING
TO THE EMT, HE'S GONNA
MAKE A FULL RECOVERY,

SO I GUESS HIS CONSEQUENCE
WILL BE HAVING TO.

YOU KNOW YOU'RE
NOTHING LIKE HIM, RIGHT?

GENETICALLY,
I'M 50% HIM,

WHICH BASICALLY
MEANS A COIN FLIP

WILL DETERMINE
IF I EVENTUALLY
GO FULL VADER.

OK. IT'S NOT
GONNA HAPPEN.

TOOK YOU OUT
PRETTY EFFORTLESSLY.

OK. "A," IT WAS
A CHEAP SHOT,

AND, "B," YOU WERE
PROTECTING ME.

-I WAS PROTECTING YOU?
-YEAH.

YOU KNEW HE'D BE HERE,
AND YOU KNEW HE WAS DANGEROUS.

ONLY THING YOU DIDN'T
KNOW IS THAT I'D BE ABLE
TO APPLY YOUR KEYWORD.

IT TOOK ME A MINUTE
TO FIND AN ARTHUR BROWN

WHO ONCE LIVED
ON SYCAMORE AVE., THOUGH.

HMM.

GREW UP IN THIS HOUSE.

I SPENT MY ENTIRE
CHILDHOOD TRYING

TO IMPRESS
A MISERABLE EGOMANIAC,

AND FOR WHAT?

FOR HIM TO TRY
AND KILL ME?

I DON'T WANT ANYTHING
TO DO WITH HIM.

AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO.

YOU WILL FIND
YOUR OWN PEOPLE.

I DID.

I'D GIVE YOU MY NUMBER,
BUT I HAVE A FEELING

YOU'RE SMART ENOUGH
TO FIGURE IT OUT.

HEY, DAD.
STOPPED BY THE PENTHOUSE,

AND THE DOORMAN SAID HE HADN'T
SEEN YOU IN DAYS.

WHERE ARE YOU?
I'M WORRIED, OK?
CALL ME BACK.

MARY, NEED YOU STAT!

OH, MY GOD.
WHAT HAPPENED?

COUPLE HOMELESS GUYS
FOUND HIM IN BURNSIDE PARK.

SNAKEBITE INJECTOR
STILL IN HIS LEG.

DAD, DAD!

GET THE PADDLES!
HE'S CODING!

DAD, DAD, STAY
WITH ME, OK?

DAD!

SO...MAYBE CLUEMASTER
WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG.

YOU ARE GOOD AT PUZZLES.

♪ AS AN ESCAPE

HOW DID YOU PUT
THE PIECES TOGETHER
THAT I WAS BATWOMAN?

WHEN WE INFILTRATED
FALSE FACE.

I FOUND
THE DRIVE ASSIST BATTECH

UNDER THE STEERING
CONSOLE.

I HAD IT ANALYZED
AND REPLACED

BEFORE YOU EVEN NOTICED
IT WAS MISSING.

IT CONTAINED
RECORDED AUDIO

OF YOU TELLING LUKE
YOU WISHED YOU WERE
IN THE BATMOBILE.

DAMN.

I'M NOT YOUR ENEMY,
RYAN.

YOU MEAN YOU'RE NOT
BATWOMAN'S ENEMY

BECAUSE WE BOTH KNOW
A FEW DAYS AGO

YOU THOUGHT RYAN WILDER
WAS AN EX-CON
WITHOUT A FUTURE.

AND I'M HERE TO SAY
I WAS WRONG,

AND I'M SORRY.

PROVE IT.

KEEP THIS
FROM THE CROWS.

I ALREADY HAVE.

THE OTHER DAY
WHEN AGENT TAVAROFF

WAS RUNNING BATWOMAN'S
DNA FOR AN I.D.,

I ERASED THE ONE
CASEFILE IT COULD BE
TRACED BACK TO--

RYAN WILDER.

I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE
TO BE OUTED.

I DIDN'T WANT TO
FORCE YOU TO TRUST ME.

I WANTED TO EARN IT.

I HOPE THIS IS
A START.

HOW DO I KNOW YOU
WON'T KILL ME

THE SECOND I PUT
THIS ON HER?

YOU DON'T.
IT'S CALLED SUSPENSE.

THE CORRECT ANSWER IS
BECAUSE A MASK LIKE THIS

REQUIRES TOUCHUPS.

YOU MAY HAVE MADE
YOUR MILLIONS SELLING

OVERPRICED WRINKLE CREAM,

BUT HUMAN FLESH
IS MY DEPARTMENT.

PUT ON THE DAMN FACE!

I ASSUME YOU HAVE
A CONCEALER IN HER SKIN TONE.

WELL, UNLESS YOU WANT
HER LOOKING LIKE

MICHAEL MEYERS.

ARE YOU SURE
THIS IS...

REALLY WHAT
YOU WANT...CIRCE?

I WANT TO BE ME AGAIN.

THAT'S ALL WELL AND GOOD,

BUT THE REAL CIRCE
DIED IN ARKHAM.

I KNOW BECAUSE I WAS
ONE OF THE INMATES

WHO STEPPED
OVER HER DEAD BODY

ON MY WAY OUT
THE DOOR.

MY NAME...
IS CIRCE SIONIS.

IF YOU SAY SO.

NOW...THIS WILL
BE CLOSE,

BUT IT WON'T BE
PERFECT.

THAT WASN'T
THE AGREEMENT.

OH. NO. I'M SORRY.
MY WORK

IS EXQUISITE,

BUT THE GIRL
IN THIS PHOTO
HAS BROWN EYES,

AND YOURS, MY DEAR,
ARE BLUE,

BUT EYES AND THEIR
ADORABLE, LITTLE SOCKETS

ARE YOUR SPECIALT...

YOU. HOW ARE YOU...

YOUR EYES.

YOU HAVE
OUR FATHER'S EYES.

KATE.

GREG, MOVE YOUR HEAD!
