Batman arrives at Gotham and begins interrogating Nigma. After taking a look at the crime scene photos - Riddler deduces that the next crime will take place in a shower or a tub. If Batman wants anymore information out of Riddler, or answers as to how he came to that conclusion, he'll need to release Riddler and allow him to go on the case with him - a stipulation Batman refuses. Leaving Riddler behind in Arkham, Batman and Gordon decide to send squad cars to the houses of each remaining Board member as a precaution while Batman tries to figure out how Riddler cracked Tut's code.

Working on a hunch of his own, Batman heads to the residence of the next senior Board member on the list of trustees only to find that Tut has already beaten him there. Keeping with his previous pattern of committing his crimes only at sundown or sunset, the board member is found drowned in his tub at dawn. Batman tries to resuscitate the man to no avail when suddenly he is attacked by Tut. King Tut claims to be heralding the dawn of a new God of light in Gotham - making Batman, a creature of the night, obsolete. Batman is able to fend off Tut's attack but when he chases after him he finds that Tut has already escaped.

Batman and Gordon head directly to Gotham to confront Nigma but are shocked to find that Nigma's cell is empty! The Riddler has escaped!
