Synopsis for "Harsh Monday"
Calendar Man attends his trial, where in spite of his lawyer's theatrics he is found guilty on all counts. The judge announces that since it is his third offense, he must serve the maximum sentence and Calendar Man will not be released until March 2000. Calendar Man is furious that he will miss the Millennium and dives at the judge. He is stopped by the bailiffs and sent to Arkham Asylum, where he remains until he is freed by Bane.
He goes to Century City, where he is quickly captured by Power Girl. This time he is imprisoned in Blackgate until he is freed by the Quake. His inability to keep track of the days in No Man's Land devastates him, and he is glad when Harvey Bullock arrests him.
He's sent back to Arkham Asylum where he is placed in solitary and the doctors keep the lights on or off for random bursts of time. The therapy is torture for him. He is finally pulled out when his lawyer makes enough of a fuss, and he realizes if he's eligible for parole, then he missed the Millennium.

Calendar Man thinks about his plans to load the ball drop with explosives and kill the crowd celebrating the Millennium.

Calendar Man decides that though he missed the Millennium, there are other calendars and other events to mark. He dons a new costume and goes to My Alibi to recruit henchmen for his next job.

Calendar Man kidnaps the twelve models from the shoot for the 2001 Wayne Motors calendar and cuts off one's hand, sending it to the GCPD.

Calendar Man marks the first day at midnight by shooting down an airplane with the experimental missile launcher he stole from the army, and he looks forward to the next four days as much as Batman fears them. Calendar Man prepares to count down the days with the models tied to a giant clock and wonders whether Batman will remember that the criminal always returns to the scene of the crime.
