[[WesternAnimation/TheZetaProject Zeta]] returns to Gotham with Ro in hopes of finding his creator Dr. Selig at a science convention. Unfortunately, he is immediately attacked by [[InspectorJavert Agent Bennett]] upon arrival. Things go FromBadToWorse when the fight between Zeta and the NSA gets intercepted by Mad Stan, who initially rescues Zeta but then discovers that he is a synthoid. Stan then decides to use the robot for his own purpose: strapping a time bomb to his back and sending him off to sabotage "the Feds." It is now up to Batman to find Zeta and disarm the bomb before it is too late.

* ActionBomb: Zeta is unknowingly turned into one by Mad Stan. Batman stops it JustInTime.



* {{Jerkass}}: Agent Bennett. Batman requests his aid to find Zeta and the time bomb, but he actually considers it to be a positive since the bomb would destroy Zeta. When Batman points out that the explosion would also kill innocent people, he remains unmoved and refuses to help. Although it may have been all an act he put on to trick Batman into thinking that he was stopping his chase of Zeta, possibly thinking it was some scheme Batman and Zeta were on.
* KansasCityShuffle: How Batman and Zeta fool the NSA. When Agent Bennett has the building they are located in surrounded, Batman flies away in the Batmobile seemingly to distract the agents but they ignore him, focusing only on capturing Zeta. When they infiltrate the building though, they find only Terry in civilian clothes. "Batman" was actually Zeta in disguise making his escape.
