Synopsis for "Bad Night in Baja"

Batman is contacted by a couple of Federal Agents and he travels to Baja California to recovers a satchel full of important documents stolen by a criminal mastermind called the Squid, who escaped from the authorities in Gotham City. When Batman finds the criminal's hideout, he uses a smoke pellet from his Utility Belt, but the Squid gets a clear shot at Batman, wouding him seriously and forcing Batman to escape the place with the documents.

The Squid and his henchmen go after Batman to recover the stolen documents and finish the job of killing the vigilante. Knowing that he is being trailed, Batman changes into Bruce Wayne and goes to a dilapidated hotel in the middle of the road and asks for a phone to contact Alfred to go help him.

When Squid and his thugs arrive at the hotel following the trail of blood, Bruce Wayne is assisted by a young woman and he gets enough strength to confront the thugs as Batman. Using tricks and diversion, Batman manages to stall until the local authorities show up in the place after the young woman had called them. The Squid attempts to escape, but Batman destroys his car and the criminals are taken to prison.

The next day, the people who witnessed Batman's confrontation with the Squid at the hotel have their lives changed forever and Alfred takes a satisfied Bruce Wayne back home.
