Synopsis for "The Golem of Gotham, Part One"

There have been several acts of violence against immigrants on the East Hamilton District and the responsibles are a group of white supremacists. An old Jewish man remembers World War II and fearing that history might repeat itself, he uses the Book of Yetsirah to summon a Golem, a massive being made of clay that would protect him and the minorities at East Hamilton.

Unfortunately, the Golem is fueled by hatred and goes on a rampage, killing both criminals and innocents. Batman is drawn to East Hamilton as a result of the racist attacks, but he soon gets involved in the strange destruction caused by the Golem, much to his confusion and shock.
