Synopsis: The Toyman, who escaped from Arkham Asylum, kidnaps Jimmy Olsen. Toyman denies murdering Cat Grant's son and reveals that Adam Grant was killed by an out-of-control Toyman robot. He takes a baseball bat and destroys that robot. Jimmy grabs a Superman doll and uses it to escape. He then grabs his signal watch from a nearby workbench and signals Superman. Batman arrives, and Toyman sets the robots on him. As Batman and Jimmy escape, Superman arrives and finishes the battle. Cat Grant finds out her son was killed by a robot and decides to return to Metropolis.

Notes: The various Toyman robots resemble versions from the Golden Age, Bronze Age, Superman/Batman book, Byrne era, and Busiek era. The Superman/Batman Toyman (Hiro Okamura) has since appeared again, so that character may not have ONLY been a robot.
