[edit] Plot synopsis

Batman investigates the appearance of a wolf creature in Gotham, not realizing that the monster happens to be one of Bruce Wayne's associates - Anthony Romulus, ex-Olympic champion and media spokesman. Batman, after some investigating, uncovers some evidence of crimes leading to Tony so he confronts him (not fully understanding the wolf situation). Tony secretley locks the rooms windows and knocks Batman unconscious using knockout gas. As Batman slips into unconsciousness, Professor Milo walks in and starts to laugh as Tony takes Batman's utility belt. It turns out that Tony came to Milo for increased speed and stamina to win athletic events in the Olympics. But the serum had a side efect and now Milo blackmails him with the cure to his lycanthropy. After a large fight ( in which the antidote is destroyed), Milo and Tony are taken down, but both get away. The episode ends with a wolf howling at the moon far outside Gotham on a cliff, now and forever more.

[edit] Notes

Anthony Romulus' surname could be a reference to Romulus and Remus, who were raised by a wolf.
Blooper alert! After Batman is rendered Unconscious, Tony can be seen removing his utility belt. When we next see Batman regain consciousness before the climatic fight, his utility belt is once again with him and nothing seems to be done to it.
