All villains are equal, but some are more equal than others

Alcatraz was cracked open and the prisoners spilled free eagerly, but not everyone was spirited off the Rock. Some prisoners had only themselves to blame for that: they were too distracted by the chance to take revenge against the guards or the prison itself to grasp the larger freedom that awaited them across the Bay. As for the rest of the population....

A select few were taken directly to the mainland.

Many others were supplied with inflatable rafts equipped with small lightweight engines.

Some were given inflatable rafts and a set of oars.

Others, either through desperation or cunning, headed for the prison's own docks, where official motorboats awaited those able to overpower the guards.

The warden barricaded himself in his office and continued to sound the mayday, hoping that some help--any help--would arrive soon, before the Rock crumbled into the waters.

As Kid Flash approaches the shoreline of the mainland, he can see a dorsal fin moving back and forth in the water. A second later, the water before Kid Flash erupts, the spray falling away to reveal the massive form of King Shark.

Bart zigs around the hulking gray form, starting a quick circular sprint to generate a waterspout under the finny fiend.

"Idon'thavetimeforyou."

King Shark dives down, seeking to escape the waterspout created by the young speedster.

Though the undertow kicks up quickly, King Shark's able to weasel out of the forming spout - which Bart immediately abandons, running in a zig-zag course that loosely follows the villain's lateral movements.

King Shark twists and turns in the water, rising to the surface to charge again, his gaping mouth fringed with rows of razor-sharp teeth.

Powerful arms suddenly encircle him from behind - one of them grinding against that place where King Shark's carotid artery is.

He's taken down this putz before.

At first King Shark snarls and thrashes against the grip of the king of the seas, but before long, he is limp and unconscious.

Seeing that King Shark has been deep-sixed, Bart turns his attention to other escapees.
