A fight broke out between Batman and Joker, only for the clown to reveal himself to be Clayface in disguise. After the reveal, the fight was finished off as Clayface toppled over and landed on Batman. Whist the hero was stuck, White Rabbit sensually stroked his face as she prepared to inject him with a dangerous super steroid but, before she was able to do the deed, was interrupted by the Flash.
