The Batman investigates the notorious global crime cartel, The Society of Shadows, which has begun to operate in Gotham City. Led by the man known only as Vertigo, they plan to hijack a certain freight train due to arrive the following night. Aboard the train is the sonic drill, a digging tool that uses ultrasound waves ... and a device that could become a fearsome, deadly weapon in the wrong hands. While trying to stop the hijacking, the Dark Knight falls victim to the amazing vertigo device. This is Vertigo's unique weapon whose radiation scrambles the victim's senses to create the illusion that the world has gone topsy-turvy. Victims of the Vertigo Effect might think they're floating upside-down, for example, or standing on a wall. Despite this, however, Batman gets the upper hand ... until a mysterious, leather-clad Lady In Black, armed with an unusual crossbow-gun, appears on the scene. She fires an arrow that separates Batman and Vertigo as they grapple, allowing Vertigo to escape.
