- At Axis Chemicals, Lt. Eckhardt advises his men to "shoot to kill."
- Inside, Jack's men crack open the safe and find it…empty.
- He realizes he's been ratted out.
- Before you can say, "Should have seen that coming," a gunfight breaks out between the thugs and the police.
- Commissioner Gordon arrives and announces that he wants Jack Napier taken alive.
- You can practically hear Napier say, "You'll never take me alive, copper!" as he starts pulling every level in the chemical plant to create a smokescreen for his escape.
- Batman arrives, and Gordon realizes the legend of the bat is real.
- A chase ensues, ending when Batman has Jack Napier in his grasp.
- But a thug corners Gordon and Batman lets Jack go to save Gordon's life. Very diplomatic.
- Napier isn't as diplomatic. He shoots and kills Lt. Eckhardt.
- When he turns back, Batman is lurking behind him.
- He fires at Batman, but the bullet ricochets off Batman's wrist cuffs (must have borrowed them from Wonder Woman) and hits Napier in the face.
- He falls off the catwalk into a vat of toxic chemicals.
- Batman creates a smokescreen and escapes.
- And a grisly hand reaches out the top of the chemical vat. He's alive. He's alliiiiiiive.
