Cash for Toys ", he returns to act as a bodyguard forBruce Wayne , whose life is being threatened by Cosmo Krank, an evil toymaker who is out to get Bruce for shutting down his company of dangerous toys.However, Cash, Bruce's "wing-man", as he called himself, failed miserably in his duty, earning anger from Commissioner James Gordon, the chief of the Gotham City Police Department.
