He takes a baseball bat and destroys that robot. Jimmy grabs a Superman doll and uses it to escape. He then grabs his signal watch from a nearby workbench and signals Superman. Batman arrives, and Toyman sets the robots on him. As Batman and Jimmy escape, Superman arrives and finishes the battle. Cat Grant finds out her son was killed by a robot and decides to return to Metropolis.
