Synopsis:
Disguised as Matches Malone, Batman infiltrates the Belle Reve prison facility. He is able to escape from his cell and reach the files in the warden's office. Batman uncovers the secret of the Suicide Squad. Before he can escape the prison with the information, Amanda sends the Suicide Squad to catch him. Batman defeats the Duchess, a strong woman who found Slipknot in the swamps, Deadshot and Rick Flag. However, they delay him long enough for Waller to seal the prison. She threatens to use Batman's fingerprints to expose his secret identity. To protect his own secret Batman hands over the stolen files. However, he plans to find another way to stop the Suicide Squad from releasing criminals.
