Synopsis:
Batman learns that the Earth has been invaded by aliens, but he tells Maxwell Lord that the JLI is better equipped to handle the situation. However, when he interrupts the hijacking of a truck on the streets of Gotham City, Batman learns that the aliens are smuggling guns into Gotham from Cuba.

Batman takes a helicopter to Cuba. It is shot down, but Batman makes it to shore. He finds the cigar manufacturing plant where the weapons are being stockpiled. He then fights several Khunds and two Thanagarians as he tries to destroy the plant. He succeeds, then heads for the harbor to find a way home.
