Synopsis for Superman & Batman: "Summer Nights - Winter Days!"

A heat wave is causing troubles in Metropolis, while a few miles away, Gotham City is covered in snow and neither of the local heroes understand what is happening. Batman and Superman decide to investigate the source of the problem, and while the Man of Steel goes to space to check on the abandoned and lost satellites orbiting Earth; the Dark Knight interrogates a known crook, associate of the evil Mister Freeze.

True to Batman's suspicion, Mister Freeze is behind the strange events as he has created a syphon machine that drains the heat from Gotham City and deposits all remaining heat in Metropolis. Freeze wants Gotham to become a frozen paradise so that he can live without need of special equipment. However, he has been using one of the abandoned satellites and he is soon located by Superman.

When Batman confirms his suspicions about Mr. Freeze, he and Superman confront Freeze in the satellite, but the villain uses a deadly heat ray to destroy Metropolis, forcing Superman to leave in order to stop the threat. Without Superman's assistance, Batman confronts Freeze and his thugs, but he has no problem in dealing with them. When Superman returns from saving Metropolis, he destroys Freeze's machine and the heroes then take the villains back to Earth.

Synopsis for Green Arrow & Black Canary: "Archer in a Cage"

Oliver Queen hears from Sanchez, a fellow prisoner whom Green Arrow nabbed, that Sanchez’s family is being forced by their landlord, Max Crowley, to help him move up in the local mob, or face being turned in as illegal aliens. To help Sanchez, Oliver gets Black Canary to frame Crowley as a “police agent” in the eyes of the local mob, save him from the mobster’s vengeance, and get him to escape and assume another identity in a different town. Then Dinah Lance employs Mrs. Sanchez in her floral shop, enabling her to apply for citizenship. Dinah reports the good news to Oliver on her next visit to prison.

Synopsis for Zatanna: "Soul Shriek!"

Zatanna is confronting Eddie Edwards, who has somehow gained the ability to use a sonic book with the power of his voice. Using elemental forces, Zatanna conjures spells that take Edwards out of the cruise into the ocean, which he freezes with his shriek.

The confrontation continues for a few more minutes and Zatanna uses water to stop the powerful mad man. Accidentally, Jeff Sloane drops a camera that he was using to take pictures of the battle and the electricity of the device electrocutes Edwards, who falls unconscious.

When the boat returns to Gotham City, Edwards is taken to a hospital and his powers are no longer working. However, Zatanna is sure that whatever gave Edwards those powers will return to haunt her.
