Plot Summary
Police scan the scene of what appears to be spontaneous human combustion. The victim is construction worker Joe Rigger, who burst into flames while asleep. Batman walks onto the scene where he is briefed by Gordon on the situation, and Batman asks to analyze the body himself, where upon he finds high traces of Methane in the body.
