The remains of the Bat-Boat are found at sea, and its log is delivered to Commissioner Gordon. After reading the log, Gordon announces that Batman is dead, following an odyssey at sea. Batman had been pursuing the Great Kardo, a magician turned criminal in possession of a gas that causes amnesia. When Batman’s death is announced, Kardo strikes. Batman however is not dead, and merely created a hoax to lure Kardo into the open for capture.
