BETWEEN TWO NIGHTS

While driving home in an unmarked vehicle, Harvey Bullock is once again victim of a murder attempt and this time, the bullet injures his arm, forcing him to crash the vehicle on the edge of the Gotham Bridge. Bullock uses the radio to call for help while the assassin keeps firing at Bullock's vehicle. The plea for help is received by Batman and Robin and they arrive in time to save Bullock, but they are unable to capture the would-be killer. Meanwhile in his prison cell, Doctor Fang regrets that Bullock is not dead yet as part of his thugs' arrangement with Mayor Hill.  The next morning, Bullock goes to work with an injured arm and he is assigned to take Amanda Groscz from the Child Welfare Bureau to Wayne Manor in order to have Jason Todd taken away from Bruce Wayne, as the legal paperwork for the guardianship of the kid was not valid. When Bullock and Groscz turn up in Wayne Manor, Bruce and Jason are shocked, but the court order is legitimate and Jason is taken away of Bruce Wayne's custody, much to everyone's sorrow. A few minutes later, Bruce has Alfred call Lucius Fox to organize a meeting with the lawyers of Wayne Enterprises.  At night, the lawyers meet at Wayne Manor, where Bruce tells them to find a legal solution to recover Jason by any means necessary. Meanwhile, Bullock convinces Commissioner Gordon to summon Batman in order to help Bullock find and stop the killer. Like this, the Bat-Signal is activated, but Bruce refuses to answer the summons until he finds a solution to the Jason Todd problem. With the signal shining bright on Jason's temporary home window, he switches to his Robin identity and goes to the GCPD Headquarters, where he saves Bullock from a bullet for him. Bullock and Robin get into a car and start the vehicle, following the killer until they finally corner him. However, the killer gets the upper hand and he is about to shot them both when Batman appears and defeats the thug. Bullock proceeds to capture the criminals, but Batman and Robin go on their separate ways as each of them have to return to their own places.
