PODKAMENNAYA TUNGUSKA RIVER
Ed goes to the 100 + year old site of the explosion and takes a ton of measurements, collects soil samples, etc and returns to Gotham to study everything in his laboratory. He rules out all SANE theories.
Oswald's decides to blackmail that descendant of Jack the Ripper that he's recently uncovered because he claims to know something about the Tunguska Event but won't spill. However . . . it turns out he's really an alien and blackmail is useless. Oswald throws a temper tantrum before hiring Lucius to help him out.
Lucius creates a truth serum that works even on aliens because his intellectual prowess is out of this world! Unfortunately, it turns out the guy was lying and knows Jack shit.
Jeremiah determines that it was Nikola Tesla's death ray that caused the explosion in Siberia and he rebuilds it so he can prove to Oswald that he is the master of creative destruction. While Ed, Oswald, and Lucius are vacationing together in Scotland (just roll with it), Jeremiah levels Gotham City yet once again. This time it's flat. Death ray flat. Just the way he likes it. . .
Oh no! What will our guys do now? There's no Gotham to come home to.
Perhaps they'll become the smartest men in Scotland instead. . .
