Batman is then beaten by more thugs on the roof whom he didn't see and thrown off of it, losing the ring again to Weaver.

It's not too long before he's apprehended and is tossed into a meeting room, where Carmine "The Roman" Falcone and Mayor Oswald Cobblepot are making a deal. Falcone then orders for him to be killed ASAP but Batman escapes, enraging him even more.

At around the same time, Mayoral Elections are coming up, and District Attorney Harvey Dent's Wife, Gina Dent, is running against Mayor Cobblepot.
