Using the Disruptor, Batman encounters James Gordon's daughter Barbara Gordon in the server room whom informs him that if he can access the GCPD's telecom wires in the sewers then he can create a uplink between the national criminal database and his Bat-computer. Infiltrating the building, Batman learns that Anarky is recruiting homeless to his cause and that a Disruptor device is in evidence lock up. To this end, and at Alfred Pennyworth's suggestion, Batman retrieves the Concussion Detonator from the Batcave to provide some non-lethal muscle. In order to identify the victims and the assailant, Batman needs to compare their DNA samples to the National Criminal Database, and the only place Batman can do that is from inside the GCPD Building. Further more, the victim is not Black Mask because of the fact that he was killed several days before the Blackgate incident.
Arriving at Lacey Towers, Batman learns that Penguin was not responsible, and that the murder is connected to someone calling himself The Joker. On his way out of the Final Offer, Batman receives a broadcast from the controversial vigilante appropriately named Anarky which he interprets as more bad news on top of the rest of the madness of the night.Īccording to the police, the murder victims appear to be Black Mask himself as well as one of his many girlfriends. Taking Deathstroke's Remote Claw, Batman is able to learn from Penguin, before he escapes into his safe room, of a double murder in one of Black Mask's safe houses at Lacey Towers. Deathstroke on the other hand puts up a resounding fight against Batman, but Batman never the less dominates the fight to the point that Deathstroke is left wondering whether Batman is even human.
