To his surprise, the rebel camp was organized by the Society in order to trap would-be heroes; Clayface ruined their plan. Calling him an idiot, Karlo lashed out and blew up the remaining portion of the camp.[4]With no Batman to stop them, the freaks of Arkham Asylum carved up Gotham City and agreed to split it amongst themselves.
