On Harmon Island, Batman wakes to find Superman kneeling over him, apologizing for having used as much of his strength as he did in fighting him. Fortunately the adrenaline rush of nearly being killed by Superman has burned most of the anti-fear toxin out of his system. White Rabbit taunts Batman, claiming that his detective skills are not up to their reputation. Batman considers the tale of the White Rabbit in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, remembering that the rabbit was actually less mad than Wonderland's other denizens. He was merely terrified of losing his head.
