Batman #15

In "Spiel mit dem Feuer, Teil 1," Batman, operating under the alias Matches Malone, dismantles a gun-running scheme tied to the Ventriloquist, only to find himself targeted after a hit is placed on the persona. When Oracle contacts the Batcave, stunned to find Batman there—just hours after "Matches" was shot in a Gotham bar—the line between identity and danger blurs.

In "Spiel mit dem Feuer, Teil 2," Batman, using the identity of the deceased arsonist Matches Malone, infiltrates the underworld to track down the Ventriloquist. Posing as the man he once impersonated, he draws closer to the truth—only to find that the line between hunter and hunted is thinner than he thought.
