Synopsis for "Night of the Monster Men, Finale"

Batman places Batwoman in charge of the superheroes fighting the newly mutated monster on the ground, while he heads to Anders Tower to face Strange.

Batwoman, Nightwing, Spoiler, and Orphan each man one of the watchtowers.

Meanwhile, at Anders Tower, Batman enters to find Strange still wearing a Batsuit, sitting on a throne of psychology textbooks. He reveals that the suit is a "suicide suit" triggered by touch. Strange claims that he is the only one able to face the madness of Gotham City and stay sane, and believes the only way to do so is to take on the mantle of Batman.

Nightwing deduces what the fifth monster is meant to represent and goes to confront the monster alone.

Strange baits Batman, saying that he keeps losing his sidekicks because he is unfit for the job. Batman is able to subdue Strange by sealing the room using Clayface as the walls, blocking Strange's ability to breathe.

Nightwing reveals that Strange believed Batman's biggest fault to be ego, driven by a child's mind, manifesting in a child as the source inside the monster.

In an epilogue set a few days later, a news report says the city is being cleaned up by GCPD in cooperation with the superheroes and holds it as a testament to Gotham's resilience against monsters.

Kate and Bruce stand in front of four fresh graves for Strange's four victims. Strange is in custody and Bruce makes clear his intent to target Bane next, as the formula originated from him.
