Synopsis for Batman: "The Set-Up Caper"

A gang boss with a propensity for hand-to-hand combat uses two professional fighters as stalking horses to figure out Batman's fighting moves, and how to counter them. Batman falls for the ruse and he fights both opponents, thinking that they are Rex Giles, the wanted criminal. When Batman takes the suspects to the GCPD Headquarters, he realizes the truth and after thinking the reason for the set-up, Batman comes to the right conclusion that he has been analyzed by Giles' men.

Batman eventually confronts Rex Giles, who believes he can overcome Batman, but the Dark Knight uses a different fighting style this time and defeats Giles, who never stood a chance against Batman. After this encounter, Batman is glad to put a wanted criminal behind bars and he is more motivated to confront his next challenge.

Synopsis for Hawkman: "The Catch-Me-If-You-Can Crook"

A small-time crook is escaping with his pitiful loot, but Hawkman nabs him. Out of nowhere the crook shows incredible power and electrocutes the Hawkman and escapes. Arriving home he discusses what happened with Shiera, and Carter figures the crook must have developed the powers on the spot, as he wouldn’t have been pulling such worthless jobs for the longest time. The two alien police officers start patrolling the city, expecting a big exploit from the new super-villain. The crook wants to use his magic touch to open the locked doors of the Midway City Government Printing Office, but he only trips the burglar alarm, Hawkman quickly descends on him with the police, but the crook suddenly shears his wings off when he transforms the lasso that was meant to catch him into a deadly, flying saw blade.
