The Winning Pair Casino is located at 2222 Janus Lane. The previous owner of The Winning Pair Casino made his money running small time gambling dens because he knew luck always favored the house. The Winning Pair Casino featured a giant billiard table recreation. Two-Face forced Harvey Dent to set up a charity auction as a ruse to trap Bruce Wayne in a lie and prove he was Batman. Dent only agreed to because he didn't believe him as Wayne wouldn't keep anything that important from him. Harvey Dent chose to help organize a charity bachelor auction on behalf of the Society for Underprivileged Fraternal Twins, an organization that was important to him. He asked Bruce Wayne to be one of the bachelors in the auction. Wayne called it a worthy cause since the stigma of being the less-attractive twin was a heavy burden no one should have to bear. He agreed to do it. Dent was glad and revealed he chose the newly refurbished Winning Pair Casino as the venue. After Robin was captured and cured of Evil Essence, Batman also took the liberty of testing his costume for any foreign residue. His cape contained traces of a fine blue chalk used by only one place in town, The Winning Pair Casino.
Batman and Robin climbed down from the ceiling on rope onto the giant billiard table. Robin was amazed by the size of those balls and speculated they cost a fortune. Batman told him about the casino's sordid past. Robin mused it was easy to forget that statistically, gambling was always a losing proposition. Two-Face taunted Robin and observed his "sudden breakout" seemed to have cleared up. Batman declared they were done with his ghoulish games. Two-Face quipped if that were so, he shouldn't have come. He called out Batman in the corner pocket then pulled a lever. A giant poolstick lowered and breaked. Batman and Robin scattered and dodged the balls. Batman swung away and balanced atop the three ball. Batman pulled Robin aside just in time and they stood by corner pocket. The eight ball approached. On Batman's cue, they dove in the hole. The eight ball went down after them. Batman threw an exploding Batarang behind him. They felt the pulse of the explosion, tumbled out of the table, and landed on floor.
Two-Face had his henchmen Twin 1 and Twin 2 send invitations to the Joker, the Peguin, the Riddler, Egghead, Shame, Mr. Freeze, Clock King, and Catwoman to bid for the secret identities of Batman and Robin. Batman and Robin were tied to a giant silver dollar near a giant spike death trap. Batman advised Robin to keep a level head, the crime fighter's greatest asset. Robin tried to reach for his arsenal but Batman stopped him, aware the coin was booby-trapped and any sudden movement could trigger it and they would be catapulted over those spikes. Robin gulped and figured Two-Face was giving them a 50-50 chance. Batman warned their weight would ensure that they fell face down on those spikes. Harvey Dent confirmed Batman was right. Batman told Dent it was not too late and asked him help them take down Two-Face. Dent admitted he was just guilty as him because couldn't take being a peon in the District Attorney's office and accepted Two-Face's Faustian deal. Batman still believed in him. Dent called him a fool. Batman recalled Mr. Wayne had his face restored and he was reformed.
Dent revealed the surgery only healed the scars on the outside and Two-Face was not kept at bay for long. He transformed back to Two-Face. Batman realized the scars were only a physical manifestation of the Evil Extractor's gasses and Dent was living a double life the whole time. Two-Face retorted Batman was also living one. Robin didn't believe he knew Batman's secret identity. Twin 2 at operated a console and Two-Face's lift was moved up to Batman and Robin. Two-Face revealed his plan to use the auction to trap Batman and prove he was Wayne. Two-Face pointed out the always punctual Bruce Wayne had not shown up for his own auction which could only mean that he was indisposed as Batman currently. He pulled off Batman's mask.
Dent was shocked. Two-Face assumed Robin was Wayne's youthful ward, Dick Grayson then put Batman's mask back on. Batman demanded to know what devilish diabolatry he devised for them next. Two-Face revealed he was going to auction off their secret identities. Twin 1 pulled a curtain and revealed several super criminals all seated like the game show Match Game. He started the bidding at $1 million. Joker bid one million and was glad he had some spare change laying around between the couch cushions. Penguin told him to be quiet and countered $1.5. Riddler asked why they were like Two-Face's henchmen. He replied because they were all doing his bidding. Joker and Penguin growled. Riddler countered with $2 million. Catwoman swung in and bid $3 million. Penguin increased his bid to $4 million. The Evil Extractor started secretly gathering their Evil Essence as they argued. Tanks attached to the bi-plane Two-Face stole from King Tut were filled with the gas. Once they were filled up, Hugo Strange nodded to Two-Face. Catwoman had enough and declared Batman was hers alone to undo, when she saw fit and not before. She bid $5 million. Everyone gasped. Joker remarked that was a little rich for his blood and proposed they combine the pot and they could all get a peek.
They all agreed and bid $10 million. They won. Two-Face collected the money and excused himself for another engagement. He paused and Dent apologized to Batman. Robin pointed out the obvious, if they learned their identities, it would be the end of Batman and Robin. Batman knew they had no choice but to trigger the giant coin. They strained and were launched. Batman told Robin to do precisely as he said, shift his weight 10 degrees to the left. The coin's center of gravity was changed and landed on its side between spikes and rolled around. The villains ran out of its way. Catwoman slashed the ropes as they rolled by and freed them. The coin crashed into the seating area. Batman thanked her for her help and apologized for standing her up. Catwoman accepted the fact that his first love would always be crime fighting and resolved herself to join his side. Joker callled treason. Rather than standby, Catwoman used her fighting style cat-rate and kicked Egghead. The Twins were tricked into punching each other out.
Batman and Robin threw Egghead and Clock King into each other. Catwoman roundhouse kicked Joker. Freeze froze Shame by mistake just as Catwoman got free from his hold. She dodged the freeze blasts and decked Freeze then flip kicked Riddler. Batman and Robin took turns punching out Joker and Penguin. They headed behind the curtain and saw Strange's New and Improved Evil Extractor. Batman realized Two-Face planned to turn all of Gotham into Two-Faces. Catwoman bowed out. Batman told her she had done more than enough but wanted her to promise him she would turn herself in to the nearest authorities. Catwoman promised and crossed her heart. They failed to see she crossed her fingers behind her back. They ran outside and saw Two-Face piloting the bi-plane in the air. Batman already summoned the Batcycle and believed the Evil Essence antidote was their last chance to cure Harvey Dent. The Gotham City Police Department arrested all the super criminals at the casino but Catwoman was missing.
