The man tries to escape, but Batman lays him out with a single blow. He then goes off to foil a convenience store robbery. When he finally returns to the Batcave, Alfred points out that he is overtaxing himself. He accuses him of engaging in "risk recreation".

He thanks Alfred for putting in a good word for him. Batman goes back out onto the streets and embroils himself in a conflict with the False Face Society. Fortunately, Robin arrives to give him back-up. After taking down a bunch of masked goons, Batman tells Robin that he appreciates his help. He also reveals that he knew Robin was present in the Batcave during his conversation with Alfred. Batman and Robin get inside the Batmobile and drive home.
