Synopsis for "Knightfall (Part VII) - Strange Bedfellows"

Batman allows Firefly to escape in order to save both their lives, then crashes out back at Wayne Manor. That evening, Gotham's cops having been sent off on a wild goose chase by Joker and Scarecrow, he attends a charity gala which is gatecrashed by Poison Ivy. He is able to bring an end to Ivy's activities, but the Gotham SWAT team is caught in an explosion elsewhere, and Bane is still out there, watching and waiting.
