THE END

Agent Liberty patrols Washington D.C. looking for an outlaw group known as the Sons of Liberty when he sees a car bomb near the Washington Monument. The car contains a sign saying there to “consider this an appetizer.” Knowing it to be a Sons of Liberty calling card, Agent Liberty thinks back to the Sons’ origin. The leader of the Sons of Liberty, Devlin, was an old army buddy of the Agent thought dead. The Agent also averts a suicide plane from crashing into the White House. Interrogating the pilot, he locates the Sons’ base. Devlin tries to kill the Agent, but the entire base goes up. The Agent, disgusted by his friend, abandons the Agent Liberty guise.

ESCAPE

Jeremiah Arkham walks a dream world of his inmates. He walks through Killer Croc’s dream, where Batman strangles him for hunting birds. He walks through Poison Ivy’s dream, where an ivy-wrapped Batman becomes her lover. He walks though the Joker’s dream, where an armored Batman melts away the Batman’s armored suit and crushes him to a pulp with a hammer. The dreams turn, though when Batman becomes Jeremiah Arkham in each of these dreams. Meanwhile, the attendees take away a comatose Arkham from his office.

THE PRICE
