Synopsis:
The Joker prepares to speak to an assembly of U.N. delegates as the official ambassador from Iran. Batman pays him a visit, and the Joker admits to killing Robin. At the conference, Joker tries to kill the assembly using gas. Superman is nearby and inhales the gas. The Joker then detonates bombs placed in the building.

Batman chases the Joker, who boards an Iranian helicopter. Batman pursues. One of the soldiers fires wildly, hitting Batman, the Joker, and the pilot. Batman dives into the river while the helicopter and its passenger crash. Batman asks Superman to find the body, but he can't. Batman knows that the Joker survived.
