| 84 | Six months later, Gordon has become a bounty hunter as he works to track down Indian Hill experiments that escaped six months earlier as well as a revived Fish Mooney who has recruited some of the Indian Hill experiments to form another version of her gang. While planning to get Leslie Thompkins back, he also encounters Carmine Falcone's son Mario Calvi. Gordon also has to tangle with hypnotist Jervis Tetch who arrives in Gotham City to look for his lost sister Alice Tetch. Meanwhile, Oswald Cobblepot runs against Aubrey James for Mayor of Gotham City after some elected Gotham City officials ran it following Theo Galavan's death and wins in a landslide. |

| 86 | While Jim rejoins the GCPD, the city plunges into a state of corruption: Alice Tetch's poisonous blood drives many crazy, including Captain Nathaniel Barnes and Mario Calvi. The deceased Jerome Valeska's followers led by Dwight Pollard revive him back to life and later attempts to continue his previous vendetta against the city and Bruce until he is defeated by Bruce and Gordon. Meanwhile, Edward Nygma, who slowly was on the path into becoming the Riddler, puts his plans into effect, setting his legacy into place, and Bruce Wayne continues his path into becoming the Batman when he starts to look into the Court of Owls, finding out that one of the Indian Hill experiments was a clone of his. |
