Released May 2004
Batman: Gotham Knights #51
Synopsis
PUSHBACK BOOK 2 The Joker blackmails the warden with a tape of him and an underage girl having sex, and the warden agrees to transfer the Riddler to the Slab. In the Batcave, Batman and Robin can't find any trace her. Batman asks Robin if he has heard about any unusual activities involving Gotham Rogues, but he hasn't. Then Oracle calls with news of the Riddler's transfer. Elsewhere, someone in a long brown coat blows up a transport grid control. Batman is watching the prison convoy from the roofs when the traffic lights all jam on red. Batman calls for Robin and descends as a missile streaks towards the convoy. Oracle starts hacking satellites to find out who launched the attack and uses one of Luthor's to see Hush activate a bomb at the hospital. Hush blows open the van, and the Riddler escapes, removing his prison uniform to reveal his costume underneath. Hush confronts him, demanding to know the location of the Lazarus Pit. He denies knowing anything, so Hush beats him to a pulp. Batman goes in to defuse the bomb at the hospital alone. On the roof, the Riddler, minus several teeth, falls backwards into the glass dome roof of a reception room. Hush jumps down after him and drags him off.
