When Bruce Wayne took over Wayne Enterprises, he made the company become involved in structuring a better Gotham City police force and helped Captain Floyd Lawton and Lieutenant James Gordon from the Special Crimes Unit.  Unfortunately, Bard was murdered by Harvey Dent when he went insane after his face was horribly scarred and Bruce covered up the circumstances after helping Harvey put all the mob bosses on trial as the Batman. Now Bruce is in a trial and has Coleman Reese as his defense attorney. Unfortunately, Dead Shot begins targeting Bruce due to him being released on bail until another trial occurs. Barbara learns of a secret that can be used to blackmail Judge Faden, however, Bruce and Alfred dissuade him from using it. Using a piece of Dead Shot's visor, Ted Kord manages to help Barbara track down Dead Shot where he plans to kill Bruce. At court, Bruce reveals that his motive for the cover-up was to prevent people from loosing hope. Dead Shot escapes from Night Wing and Blue Beetle and the jury finds Bruce not guilty. Dead Shot later goes out onto the roof looking and gets attacked by Prometheus, warning him to stay away from Bruce Wayne. Dead Shot escapes and is later revealed to be Lawton himself.
 * 2) Harley Quinn returns to Gotham City and begins targeting high profile couples. Bruce works to track her whereabouts and prevent any more killings. Selina, who wants to prosecute Rupert Thorne, asks her boyfriend Arnold Flass for help in finding leverage against Judge Faden and Flass follows Faden to Falcone's night club while posing as a homeless man. Barbara discovers that Harley has been prosecuting couples that have recently been married. Dick and Barbara stage a "secret" wedding with them set up as the target, intentionally leaking the information to the media. The plan works and Harley attacks Dick and Barbara at the ceremony. Barbara distracts Harley long enough for Batman to apprehend her. Flass gives the photos to Selina, however, Loeb warns Selina to walk away from this entire matter and arranges for Brandon as well as some corrupt cops to assault Selina's foster father James Gordon in the parking lot.
 * 3) Batman investigates a new drug out on the streets and decides to do something about it when Lawton tells him how there is nothing the law can do to stop Tony Woodward, who is manufacturing the drug. Vigilante wannabee Jack Wheeler raids Woodward's warehouse as Wild Dog. The raid goes wrong and Woodward ends up with superhuman strength and an inability to feel pain. Bruce learns what happened from Selina and warns Wheeler to stay off the streets as Batman. Batman and his team then stop Woodward from creating more super-humans. Gordon gets his revenge on Branden by tracking him down, beating him, and leaving hum naked and handcuffed in the snow. Gordon is tempted to kill Brandon, however, he remembers why he joined the marines before in his youth and decides to spare Brandon's life, but warns him to stay away from Barbara and Selina.
