Jimmy Olsen Jimmy Olsen is in Manhattan on the trail of some high-tech ninjas. Superman guides him from outer space and even helps him gain access to their lair with a subtle dose of heat vision. When Jimmy enters the building, he finds the Red Hood beating down all of the ninja. After the fight concludes, he asks him about the death of Harlequin. The Red Hood doesn't know a lot about the incident, except to say that she was killed by an extraterrestrial humanoid. He further tells him that a second similar alien showed up and fought with the first one. Jimmy doesn't understand why an alien would murder Harlequin without reason. The Red Hood tells him that if is looking for answers to questions beyond reason – he should pay a visit to the Joker. Later, Jimmy Olsen goes to Arkham Asylum in Gotham City. He visits the cell of the Joker and tells him that his daughter is dead. The Joker feigns being remorseful, then confesses that he doesn't have a daughter. He rambles on about Jimmy's failure to see the "big picture", then lapses into a fit of hysterical laughter. Jimmy begins to walk away from his cell when suddenly Killer Croc appears and looms over top of him. Mary Marvel In Greenwich Village, Mary Marvel visits the curio shop of Madame Xanadu. Bereft of her powers, she asks Xanadu to help her find Freddy Freeman. Xanadu tells her that her future is cloudy, filled with dark clouds. She tells her that she will soon be tested. Karate Kid In the Batcave, Batman spars with Karate Kid. The Kid insists that his name is Trident (a name once used by a trio of criminals known to plague the New Teen Titans). During the fight, Karate Kid manages to snag Batman's utility belt and pulls it away from him. Black Lightning is present and approaches Karate Kid from behind. He zaps him with a small electrical burst, and the Kid falls to the floor. He then says that Superman must have miscalculated Karate Kid's skill level. The Rogues In Keystone City, the Rogues gather around for a small party. Weather Wizard is barely conscious, and Heat Wave is dicing lines of cocaine on a glass coffee table. Mirror Master appears inside the glass and exits the table. The Rogues are still on edge about the presence of the Trickster and the Pied Piper. They feel that these former Rogues have gone soft and are too cozy with the Flash. Mirror Master tells them they require a display of loyalty if they wish to continue associating with them. He says that a meeting is scheduled for the following evening, and concludes by saying, "Oh, an' if yeh don't show up, we'll hunt yeh down and kill yeh".

During the fight, Karate Kid manages to snag Batman's utility belt and pulls it away from him. Black Lightning is present and approaches Karate Kid from behind. He zaps him with a small electrical burst, and the Kid falls to the floor. He then says that Superman must have miscalculated Karate Kid's skill level.
=== The Rogues ===
This issue is reprinted in Countdown to Final Crisis Vol. 1 (Collected). Death of Joker's Daughter (Duela Dent) from issue #51 is confirmed in this issue. Madame Xanadu appeared last in 52 Week Fifty. This issue reveals that Jimmy Olsen is aware of the secret identities of both the Red Hood and Nightwing. Given Jimmy's inquisitive nature, it is fair to assume that he is aware, or at the very least suspects, that Bruce Wayne is Batman.
In Keystone City, the Rogues gather around for a small party. Weather Wizard is barely conscious, and Heat Wave is dicing lines of cocaine on a glass coffee table. Mirror Master appears inside the glass and exits the table. The Rogues are still on edge about the presence of the Trickster and the Pied Piper. They feel that these former Rogues have gone soft and are too cozy with the Flash. Mirror Master tells them they require a display of loyalty if they wish to continue associating with them.
