Night and City is the eleventh episode of Batman: Shadow War's season three. It is a Penguin and Joker episode.

Plot
At the Iceburg Lounge after night, he sets up a bidding auction for various criminals including Killer Croc, Black Mask, Poison Ivy, Joker, Bane, Great White Shark and Mad Hatter with Penguin selling a weapon to them which is a powerful nuclear device capable of destroying Gotham City. However after some discussions with Loose Lips, Penguin thinks back on the idea and the villains leave in disappointment only for Joker to refuse to leave empty handed; attacking Penguin with a knife only for henchmen to throw the clown out to his anger.

After Penguin goes to plan his threat to Gotham City to hold Gotham City ransom or he'll blow up Gotham, Mayor Marion Grange responds to this with not negotiating with "scum" and orders the police to arrest the man. Batman joins in the police hunt and breaks into the Iceburg Lounge but finds nobody except Joker armed with a knife who reveals his on the hunt for Penguin as well. Joker mockingly asks if the two should work together to find him, only for Batman to respond by disarming the mass murderer and pin him to a table, then cuffs him for the police. When Batman leaves, Joker smirks as he reveals he cuffed fake hands and brings out the real ones; preparing to exact his revenge on both the bat and the bird.

Penguin gives out another message to the Mayor; claiming he'll never find him and the only way to ensure Gotham's safety is to pay up, only for James Gordon to state that Batman or his forces will find the Penguin to bring him to justice. Batman, still on the hunt, infiltrates several of Penguin's operations and finds Loose Lips in the middle of a weapon deal only for Batman to intervene and capture Loose Lips, threatening his life in an attempt to gain information on Cobblepot. Loose Lips, at first, attempts to save himself and kill Batman only to be stopped and then reveals Penguin's weapon can be tracked as a beacon is attached inside in case it got stolen and reveals he has one of the devices used to track it as an entrusted henchman, only for Batman to take it and leave him hanging from a building.

Batman goes to track down Penguin only to be ambushed by Joker who comically places a trash can over his head and then takes the device, he leaves a small Jack N' The Box behind for Batman. Joker finds Penguin and his device on a mountain outside of Gotham, watching over the dark town. Batman though managed to survive the explosion from the trap and escaped to find that Joker had gone to the location as he spotted him escaping. Penguin's henchmen tried to defend their boss from the Clown Prince of Crime only to die trying and the clown then assaulted Penguin, arming the nuclear device and even sending it off targeting the Mayor's residence. Batman though intervenes and calls in the Batwing to chase the missile mid-air, using his Pneumatic Mangler to climb it and then managed to hack and disable it to explode mid-air instead of nuking Gotham, Batman escaped before the nuke exploded.

Joker grinned sadistically at the "fireworks" and prepared his flower, evilly saying it could be acid, a deadly chemical, Joker Venom or even just some simple water for comic relief, Penguin is frightened at such a thought and tried to escape his restraints which Joker trapped him with. Joker then starts to activate his flower only for Batman to stop him, kicking him away and then moved to arrest Joker. Joker attempted using his jester cane sword; challenging the Dark Knight to a duel, and tried killing him only for Joker to uppercut and knock him out with a punch. Penguin though escapes before Batman or the cops could arrest him.
