After defeating two more foes, they are lured to a cavern where they meet the alien who issued the warnings. When they enter the cave, they become trapped by the alien. Batman manages to free them to the alien’s pleasure. He explains that their planet has become dependent on robots, but the robots have broken down. The aliens came to Earth to learn survival skills from the super-heroes against common dangers of their world. With their mission complete the aliens return home.
