Recap
The sorcerous Felix Faust is using a ruined temple as his base of operations and has captured Batman. Faust is preparing to cast a ritual from a mystic tome to open Pandora’s Box and unleash its evils upon the world. When Batman taunts him, Faust conjures a mystical clamp to bind his mouth, then begins the ritual. As the evil starts to emerge, Batman simply concentrates and the clamp unfastens itself, floating off into the air. Faust throws a fireball but the chains unlock in similar fashion and Batman dives for cover. He then raises his hand and summons the mystic tome to him with a simple gesture.

However, Batman demonstrates the source of his “powers”: the Atom, shrunk to invisible size and using his weight negation. The Atom grows to human size and the two heroes dispose of Faust...

Batman: A tiger shark doesn’t change his stripes.
Aquaman: And that’s how I recovered the stolen statue. I call that “The Mystery of the Stolen Statue.” “The Secret of the Mechanical Sea Monster.” “Coral Reef Rescue.” And the time I wore an eye patch to infiltrate a crew of pirates, I call that…
Batman: “Aquaman’s Undercover Adventure.”
Aquaman: No. “The Time I Wore an Eye Patch to Infiltrate a Crew of Pirates.” But what you said is good too.
Aquaman: Ahh… crabcakes.
Aquaman: That was outrageous! What’s it like inside a whale?
Batman: I won’t be ordering the calamari for a while.
Orm: You saved me.
Aquaman: I’m the king. It’s what I do.
Aquaman: Outrageous! I knew you had a hero inside you looking for a way out.
Orm: It was easy. Every time I smashed the machine, I just imagined it was your face.
Aquaman: Oh. Well. Good job.
