21. A Dark Knight: One Bad Day

Complete story — includes the ending

Jeremiah plants his bombs around Gotham and gives the city six hours to evacuate before detonation. Gordon escapes the bunker with blueprints of Jeremiah's plans but is knocked out before being rescued by Lee and Nygma. Jeremiah also abducts Alfred and lures Bruce to a hideout, where Bruce enlists Selina's help. Scarecrow's fear toxin makes Bruce hallucinate an insane Alfred attacking him, but Selina frees the real Alfred and the two save Bruce. Jeremiah is intercepted by Cobblepot, Grundy, Barbara, and Tabitha, who demand a ransom on the threat of destroying the bombs' core relay; Jeremiah instead destroys the relay himself and rewires the bombs to detonate in sequence. After Nygma deciphers the blueprints, Gordon brings the plans to GCPD; with help from Fox, Bullock locates and deactivates the first bomb in time. Gordon then reveals on a newscast that he is alive, as Jeremiah believed that the bomb in his bunker killed Gordon. His plans foiled, Jeremiah incinerates all his followers alive but is later approached by Ra's al Ghul, who proposes an alliance. Bruce, Selina, and Alfred return to Wayne Manor, but Jeremiah breaks in and shoots Selina in the abdomen before Alfred subdues him.
