Recently a couple of people who were once dead have been showing up. The most recent one being Theo Galavan, though now he goes by Azrael.

Cat and Reine were feeding the birds when Bruce Wayne came.

"Selina? Reine?"

"What's up?"

"Hey there Mr. Wayne."

"I remember you telling me you were still feeding your friend's birds."

"Someone has to. Why are you here?"

"Have you seen the news?"

"Walking zombies in Gotham?"

"What's new?"

"Strange worked for my father on a project designed to help people. He perverted it and now I believe he's found a way to"

"Bring back the dead?", the girls said simultaneously.

"A little far-fetched don't you think?"

"Perhaps. But he's hiding something. The police have failed to find out what. I think I can do better."

"That so?"

"When my father shut down Strange, he was killed. I just want the truth, that's all."

"You just won't be happy until you get yourself killed, will you?"

"Victor Fries and Theo Galavan both went to Arkham as dead men. Both returned."

"I don't care."

"So did your friend Bridgit."

That gains the girls' interest.

"Wait, they sent her to Arkham?"

"She may still be there right now. Alive."

"I told her to leave town. To run, but she didn't listen. It's my fault she's there."

"We can put this right. Strange was ready for the police. He may have been tipped off. The only way we're gonna find out what's really going on in there is if we break in ourselves."

"Break-in? To Arkham? A highly guarded place that's packed with crazy people?"

"If it's too dangerous for you I'll just go myself."

"I didn't say that."

"Prisons are meant to stop breaking out, not in. It can be done."

"It's a looney bin. Not a prison. I know it can be done. But I go alone."

"Why?"

"If I get caught, they'll just toss me out. Nobody cares about me. But you? They see you coming and they'll shut that whole thing down quicker than you can say rat. And then you'll never find out what they've been up to. That, or they'll just kill you. Besides, I already know a way in."
