Meister escapes to an empty opera house where, in a parody of Phantom of the Opera he plays the organ to a cardboard audience. His plan successful, the Meister frustrates Batman once more, escaping by forcing his captives to "kick into that blast", making the hero rescue them rather than apprehend the villain. When Batman intervenes, he orders them to attack the hero, which they do in a dance style reminiscent of West Side Story. He uses his powers to get Black Canary, Green Arrow, Aquaman, Black Manta, Gorilla Grodd and Clock King to hijack a United Nations' communications satellite, launching it into space after they install a device for him.
As he sang during his first song "Bullies used to pick on me because I sang in choir, but something very strange occurred as I kept singing higher, the ruffians around me quickly fell into a trance, and it was then with wicked glee I made those puppets dance!". He thus uses his newly discovered talents to control the people that had bullied him and plans to "settle the score". But he soon discovered that when he sang higher that he could hypnotize people.
