(Batman I #682, 683) - Mokkari and Simyan set up a new Evil Factory in Bludhaven, taking Batman prisoner and hooking his mind up to the Lump. They were creating Batman clones to serve as a strikeforce for Darkseid and needed Lump to explore his mindscape so they’d have a mental template for their clones. Batman replayed the early years of his career in his mind with Lump playing the role of his loyal butler Alfred Pennyworth, triggering, sorting and converting memories. Alfred gave Batman a novel he’d written postulating what a world would be like without Batman. In his mindscape Batman realized he wasn’t talking to the real Alfred, and said he’d be coming after him once he figured out what was going on. Batman’s mind started playing out “Alfred’s” novel. Mokkari and Simyan briefly panicked at Batman recognizing Lump as a mental intrusion, but agreed the strength and superiority of his mind was exactly why they needed it for their clones. Batman’s career played out alongside Bruce Wayne’s mundane life following in his father’s footsteps as a doctor. Batman started asserting control of his mindscape and the Lump replayed Bane breaking his back, saying he had ways of making Batman behave and promising to replay his most painful life moments over and over again. Lump gloated about the clones Mokkari and Simyan were creating, and Batman said that if his pain was what they wanted he’d give it to them all at once. The multiple traumas of Batman’s life fed into the clones, who started tearing themselves apart, unable to handle the mental strain. Mokkari decided he could salvage the clones as cannon fodder and shot Lump with soul-killing shells to stop the emotional transfer. Lump realized he’d been betrayed, and Batman lent him mental strength to rise up and attack Mokkari and Simyan. Lump destroyed the remaining clones and freed Batman from captivity before dying.
