Batman and Batwoman continue fighting the monster in downtown Gotham while Spoiler and Orphan are still incommunicado in the caves. Meanwhile Duke figures out from the Batcave that Gotham Girl and Nightwing's vitals reveal the presence of Venom - to which Batman realizes is from Bane and traded to Hugo Strange for the Psycho Pirate.
Finally deciding he's going to have to fight the Gotham Girl monster head on, Batman encases himself in Clayface, forming one of the most non-marketable Bat-costumes ever. It doesn't last long though, as she claps her hands together and sonic boom splatters Clayface off him. Luckily, Duke shows up, defying Batman's orders to stay out of the fight, with a handful of antidote. Back in the caves however, Orphan and Spoiler fire up some flares to burn the mold off of the people inside.. It works, and the people return to normal but their troubles appear to just be beginning, as the mold forms some super, evil monster thing.
Duke sticks Claire with the antidote gun and she returns to normal, completely unaware as to what happened. As she slowly comes to though, we see Batwoman in free fall during her battle with Nightwing. She says she has a plan but i'll have to wait for the next issue.
Not a bad issue. I think it kind of dipped compared to the writing and art of Detective Comics, from which the story was continued from. It's not all that earth shattering of a battle but they can't all be winners. I give it a 7/10.
