A Gotham Gazette Article titled The Long Halloween... There's a picture of Croc.

20 year old Waylon Jones arrested after a blood bath involving decapitation at a Halloween party the police believed his appearance was a costume but its believed he surfers from an unknown condition.

Bruce types into the criminal database and can't find a Waylon Jones.

Bruce walks over to his batsuit.. I tried to save you Vickie...

Awful late to be near that thing ain't it Selina says. I thought you left.. Bruce says he starts putting on the suit. You're butler asked me to hang around.. Sounds like he believes in us more then us Selina says with a laugh. I'm going to find out about Killer Croc. Bruce says as he climbs into the batwing... Kids asleep.. And you can't go out there on you're own.. Let me come.. Selina says. Selina.. I tried telling you nicely I don't have an interest in you Bruce says.
And I've told you I don't care.. Plus i think you're just afraid I'll get hurt.. But its okay cause I have at least 7 lives left maybe 8.. Selina says with a smile. Bruce sighs as Selina jumps in with him.

Jim Gordon parks his car and walks into his apartment.. He sees a picture of his wife. He picks it up.. I'm sorry.. I'm so sorry. Hey Dad he hears calling him from the other room..

Hey kiddo Jim says he opens the door Barbara is sitting cross legged on her bed.

Barbara: DADDDDDD you're not gonna believe IT
I GOT AN EMAIL THE LIBRARY ACCEPTED MY INTERNSHIP!!! DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS????

Jim: you really need a boyfriend?

Barbara: BETTERRRRRE BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKS!!!

Jim: well have fun.. Also barb I've been busy trying to find the jokers body and with everything what I'm saying is.. I'm happy You're back and we can talk about your mother... Or anything anytime.

Barbara: I'm happy to be home too.. And yeah okay sure Dad.

Jim: I'm gonna get some rest...

Jim leaves as Barbara says goodnight.

Barbara looks down... Mom she thinks.. She turns on some music on her phone and starts crying as she goes to bed..

Jim walks through his living room its dark.
He turns around.. You better have a good reason he says to Batman standing behind him. Batman hands him a folder.. What's this. The Long Halloween story is in it and shots of what happened at Two-Face's old bar... Oh my goodness... Is it related to the guy who got the jump on you.. I couldn't find Robin... Jim says Batman walks around the living room

Selina is on Batman's comms piece left hand corner she says.

Come on I know we've had problems but... Just says something okay Jim says. Batman pulls out a batarang and throws it into Jim's mirror in the corner destroying it.. WHAT WHAT WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU.. Jim screams. Barbara opens her door a crack

Batman walks to the mirror he picks up a small round camera. He disconnects from it's server... What is that a bug?  Is it yours? Jim asks. No... That file I gave you. Notice the inconsistency? Batman says.
Barbara is amazed.. She recognizing Batman's modulator as the one that called her. Batman needed my help she thinks.

You mean aside from him being a 9 foot tall crocodile. Jim asks.. He bit someone's head off. He was in custody. He was sent to Arkham. Batman says. And he managed to get out Jim says. No. He's not on the breakout list. The paper says he was in custody but no were in arkham online records does it say he was ever there. I checked A.R.G.U.S too he disappeared off the face of the earth.. Batman says. If thats true someone helped him someone high up. Maybe Lobe? Maybe the mayor. Why bug me? Jim asks. Look at the wall skiff marks Batman says as him and Jim investigate. Look no dust yet everything else does. Tables shelf's not this... Someone did this recently Batman says. Who and why Jim.
Someone who was afraid... Afraid of what you might find.. Batman says. Find what Jim says. The Joker the Riddler... All of this points back to Arkham Asylum.. Whatever it is or was its in Arkham Batman says
