Synopsis for Batman: "Batgirl Breaks Up the Dynamic Duo"
While out on patrol, Batgirl learns of a robbery at the Gotham Gothic Arts Museum and chases after the crooks. During the fight, Batman and Robin arrive to help out. Batman lands in swampy waters during the fight with a criminal. As he emerges from the swamp he suddenly experiences a chill. Batgirl also notices Batman's symptoms including a Mustard complexion on his face. The next day, librarian Barbara Gordon does some medical research at the Gotham library. She confirms that Batman has a case of swamp fever. The fever has an incubation period of 1-7 days. After Batman gets a full fever he would collapse from the sickness. Barbara vows to act as Batman's guardian angel until the Swamp Fever runs it's course through Batman's system. In order to keep a better watch and limit Batman's activies, Batgirl tells Robin what's going on and the two team-up, making Batman believe that Robin is leaving their partnership to fight crime with Batgirl. The two remain vigilant in handling crooks and thieves to make sure that Batman does not exert himself. After a full seven days, Batman succumbs to the illness and collapses while apprehending a group of criminals. Luckily Robin and Batgirl arrive just in time to assist Batman as he grows weaker. Batman is then bed ridden for the next two days while he recovers. He gets an unexpected visit from commissioner Gordon and Barbara who have heard that Bruce Wayne is ill. The commissioner presents Bruce with a bag of Chinese oranges. Bruce thinks to himself that Chinese oranges are particularly helpful in helping one recover from swamp fever and he wonders if the commissioner suspects that he is secretly Batman.
