IT'S NOT WORTH IT.

SO, WHAT'S NEXT, BATWOMAN?

WE FIND
THAT CASE OF BATMAN TROPHIES

WHY DID YOU CALL ME HERE?

OVER A DOZEN WEAPONS
OF MASS DESTRUCTION

ARE BELLY-UP IN THE
GOTHAM RIVER SOMEWHERE.

SERIOUSLY?

OK. I GET IT.

YOU CAN HOLD YOUR BREATH
FOR A REALLY LONG TIME.

BUT I GOT NEWS FOR YOU.

THE WORLD ALREADY HAS
AN AQUAMAN.

HE'S A LOT MORE RIPPED.

DEREK?

IF YOU'RE WAITING FOR ME TO SAY
THIS ISN'T FUNNY, THEN FINE.

THIS ISN'T FUNNY.
YOU CAN COME UP NOW.

OHH! AAH! AAH!

AAH!

AAH!

AAH!

BY THE ORDER OF
THE MAYOR'S OFFICE,

IN EXCHANGE FOR YOUR COOPERATION
IN THESE CASES,

YOU WILL BE REMANDED
INTO SUPERVISED CUSTODY.

♪ THIS IS A WILD ONE

IF YOU HARM
OR ATTEMPT TO HARM ANY PERSON,

THIS RELEASE WILL BE RESCINDED.

IF YOU VIOLATE ANY OF THE LAWS
OF GOTHAM CITY,

THIS RELEASE WILL BE RESCINDED.

IF YOU ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE,

THIS RELEASE WILL BE RESCINDED

AND YOU WILL SPEND
THE REMAINDER OF YOUR LIFE

AT ARKHAM IN
SOLITARY CONFINEMENT.

ANY QUESTIONS?

YES.

DOES THIS KIND OF WRECK
MY ENSEMBLE?

ANY QUESTIONS I'M
LIKELY TO ANSWER?

I GOT ONE.

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK
ANY OF THIS IS GONNA STICK?

YOU.

BECAUSE YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE

FOR EVERYTHING
SHE DOES.

SHE CROSSES THE LINE,
YOUR DAYS

AS A CAPED VIGILANTE
ARE OVER.

I MIGHT EVEN ARRANGE
FOR YOU TWO

TO HAVE ADJOINING CELLS.

YOU'RE TYING MY FATE
TO A PSYCHOPATH?

WELL, MORE LIKE
HANDCUFFING IT, BUT YES.

UNTIL YOU TWO HAVE
TRACKED DOWN

EVERY LAST ONE
OF THOSE TOXIC TOYS

FROM BATMAN'S
TROPHY CASE.

'CAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE
ANOTHER ONE'S ALREADY

RACKING UP
A BODY COUNT.

IN A CRIME
AS COLD-BLOODED

AS THE CREATURE SOME SAY
IS RESPONSIBLE,

TWO GOTHAM UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
ARE MISSING

AND PRESUMED DEAD
AFTER BLOOD AND NOT MUCH ELSE

WAS FOUND AT THE SCENE,

SAVE FOR A GRISLY CALLING CARD

WHICH EERILY RESEMBLES THAT

OF BATMAN FOE KILLER CROC,

WHO TERRORIZED GOTHAM
NEARLY TWO DECADES AGO

IN A VIOLENT REIGN
OF REPTILIAN TERROR.

AND WHILE SOME INSIST
THIS MAY JUST BE THE WORK

OF AN ATTENTION-SEEKING COPYCAT,

AUTHORITIES CAN'T SAY FOR SURE

WHETHER GOTHAM HAS
A NEW LIZARD PROBLEM

OR IF THIS KILLER
IS JUST A CROCK.

AND WHILE INITIAL SEARCHES FOR--

KILLER CROC,
A.K.A. WAYLON JONES.

FORMER PROFESSIONAL WRESTLER
WHO SUFFERED FROM

AN UNIDENTIFIED
INFECTION

THAT CAUSED HIS SKIN
TO GROW SCALES,

HENCE THE APPEARANCE
OF A CROCODILE.

NOW, AS
THE INFECTION PROGRESSED,

OTHER PHYSICAL
ABNORMALITIES FOLLOWED--

ELONGATED JAW, CLAWS, TAIL.

I REMEMBER HIM.

BATMAN KILLED HIM, RIGHT?

OH, NO.

NO. NO, BRUCE
TRIED TO SAVE HIM.

HE TOOK PITY ON HIM.
HE ALWAYS THOUGHT

THAT HIS VIOLENT TENDENCIES

WERE A RESULT OF
THE INFECTION.

HE ACTUALLY HAD
WAYNETECH LABS

WORKING ON A CURE
FOR HIS CONDITION.

A WAY TO REVERSE IT. BUT...

THEY NEVER FOUND IT, THOUGH.

SO, WHAT HAPPENED?

THE GCPD HAPPENED.

THEY HAD THEIR OWN IDEAS
OF HOW TO DEAL WITH K.C.,

SO, THEY DROPPED
A TRUCKLOAD OF THERMITE

INTO THE SEWER JUNCTION.

RIGHT ON TOP OF HIM.

LIT THE PRIMER CORD
AND RAN.

SO, THAT TOOTH?

PRETTY MUCH ALL THAT
WAS LEFT OF HIM.

AND NOW IT'S LOOSE.

OK, BUT HOW
COULD A TOOTH

HAVE CREATED A WHOLE
'NOTHER CROC?

I MEAN, I GET A LIZARD

CAN GROW BACK
A WHOLE NEW TAIL,

BUT PLEASE
TELL ME THAT TOOTH

DIDN'T GROW BACK
A WHOLE NEW KILLER CROC.

IF THE ORIGINAL
KILLER CROC

SUFFERED FROM
AN INFECTION,

THEN IT WOULD'VE GOTTEN
INTO HIS BLOODSTREAM.

SO, MAYBE THE TOOTH
CARRIED THE INFECTION.

AND WHOEVER FOUND IT...

WE NEED TO FIND THEM.

BUT THE QUESTION IS, HOW?

I HAVE A QUESTION.

WHY IS THERE A TREE IN HERE?

I MEAN, I GET
THE WHOLE BAT MOTIF,

BUT THIS IS A, UM,
44-STORY BUILDING.

SURELY THERE'S A MORE
COMFORTABLE WORKSPACE AVAILABLE.

I NEED TO TALK
TO YOU BOTH.

IN PRIVATE.

I'M JUST GONNA HANG OUT HERE.

OK. IF NEW CROC'S ANYTHING
LIKE THE OLD ONE,

I'M GONNA NEED
BATWING ON MY 6.

WHERE ARE YOU
WITH FIGURING OUT

WHAT'S WRONG
WITH THE SUIT?

UH, STILL WORKING ON IT
BUT MAKING PROGRESS.

OK, WELL,
WHY DON'T YOU TWO

PUT YOUR
NERD BRAINS TOGETHER

AND TRY TO
FAST-TRACK A FIX.

YEAH. YEAH,
WE'LL GET ON IT.

KNOCK-KNOCK.

GOT MY HANDS
ON A COPY OF

THE FORENSICS REPORT
FROM THE POOL ATTACK.

FAIR WARNING--
THE WORD "SECRETION"

COMES UP IN
SEVERAL PLACES,

BECAUSE APPARENTLY,
HIS DROOL

CONTAINS A PARALYTIC AGENT

WHICH RENDERS HIS
VICTIMS UNCONSCIOUS,

ALLOWING HIM TO

FEED ON THEM
AT HIS LEISURE.

I SHOULD PROBABLY
PUT IT OUT THERE RIGHT NOW

THAT I REALLY DO NOT
DO REPTILES.

OK. LET'S GET ALICE ON THIS.

IF CRAZY STUFF'S
GOING DOWN,

MAY AS WELL GET THE CRAZY
LADY'S TAKE ON IT.

UM, WE DON'T REALLY USE

THE "C" WORD ANYMORE.

"CRAZY"?

WHAT THE HELL?

SEEMS WE HAVE A GUEST.

SECURITY CLEARED
A LANDING REQUEST

FOR THE CEO OF
JETURIAN INDUSTRIES.

JADA JET.

SHE'S APPARENTLY
INSISTING ON A MEETING

WITH THE WAYNE CEO
AND WILL NOT LEAVE

UNTIL SHE HAS ONE.

GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.

WELL, WE CAN'T EXACTLY

TELL HER, "WE DON'T KNOW

WHERE OUR BILLIONAIRE
CEO IS."

I HAVE A FEELING
SHE'LL SETTLE

FOR THE ACTING CEO.

GREAT.
WHO'S THE ACTING CEO?

ME.

KATE WANTED TO MAKE SURE
WE COULD HANDLE

ANY PROBLEMS THAT
AROSE IN HER ABSENCE.

THOUGHT I'D JUST BE
THE NAME ON THE LETTERHEAD.

OK. WELL,
IF JADA JET

WANTS TO MEET
WAYNE'S TOP-OP,

I'M GONNA NEED TO LOOK THE PART.

OH! ACTUALLY,
YOU ARE IN LUCK,

BECAUSE I JUST PICKED UP

A TON OF DRY CLEANING.

AND WHY DON'T YOU
TRY TO FIND OUT

WHAT OUR UNINVITED
GUEST WANTS.

OK.

HEY. I KNOW YOU SAID

YOU DIDN'T WANT
TO KNOW THIS,

BUT BEFORE YOU
SIT DOWN WITH HER,

YOU SHOULD PROBABLY
KNOW THAT...

THAT UNINVITED GUEST
IS YOUR BIRTH MOTHER.

OK. TELL THE TRUTH.

DOES THIS SAY, "NO,

I HAVEN'T BEEN CEO
FOR JUST 5 MINUTES"?

NO. IT SAYS,
"I'M A CONFIDENT,

"PUT-TOGETHER,
YOUNG BLACK WOMAN

WHO YOU WERE AN IDIOT
TO EVER GIVE UP."

YOU THINK SHE KNOWS?

PRETTY BIG COINCIDENCE
IF SHE DOESN'T.

WHAT DOES SHE WANT?

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

I JUST WANT TO GET
THROUGH THIS MEETING

AND NEVER SEE HER AGAIN.

AND I WANT TO GET
HER DAMN HELICOPTER

OFF OF MY ROOF.

OK. UM, AHEM,

WHAT IS THE ABSOLUTE MINIMUM
I NEED TO KNOW

TO GET THROUGH THIS
UNSCATHED?

WHAT WOULD BRUCE WAYNE
INSIST ON KNOWING ABOUT HER?

PROBABLY HER BRA SIZE.

JETURIAN INDUSTRIES

SPECIALIZES IN
MICROTECHNOLOGY.

JADA JET TOOK CONTROL

AFTER THE DEATH
OF HER HUSBAND

A DECADE AGO.

DOUBLED THE COMPANY'S WEALTH

IN HALF THAT TIME.

SHE'S A FIGHTER.

BUT SO ARE YOU.

SEND HER IN.

HEY. JUST REMEMBER,

SHE NEVER
GAVE YOU ANYTHING,

SO, SHE CAN'T TAKE
ANYTHING AWAY.

YOU GOT THIS.

♪ TALK HOW YOU TALK

♪ WALK HOW YOU WALK

♪ 'CAUSE I'D HAVE
A PROBLEM SLEEPING ♪

♪ IF WE'RE COUNTING CRIMES,
NICKELS AND DIMES ♪

♪ WE BOTH HAVE RICHES,
BUT YOU'D BE THE... ♪

IF I HAD KNOWN
WAYNE HAD A NEW CEO,

I WOULD HAVE SENT A GIFT BASKET.

♪ I COULD NEVER LOVE THEN WE COULDN'T MEET IN PERSON.

RYAN. AND IT'S ACTING CEO.

SO, BRUCE WAYNE
CHECKS HIS STOCK PRICE

FROM A SUPERYACHT
IN BELIZE

WHILE YOU DO
ALL THE REAL WORK?

JADA JET.

NICE TO MEET YOU.

WERE YOU AND BRUCE
ACQUAINTED?

WE EXCHANGED A FEW
HEATED WORDS

YEARS AGO
WHEN HE POACHED

ONE OF MY MOST
VALUED EMPLOYEES.

IF YOUR EMPLOYEE
ALLOWED HIMSELF

TO BE POACHED,

HE MUST'VE FELT
UNDERVALUED.

BUT I'M ASSUMING YOU
DIDN'T FLY 12 BLOCKS

FROM YOUR
CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS

TO OPEN UP
OLD WOUNDS.

NO. I'M HERE
TO ADDRESS A NEW ONE.

THERE WAS AN ILLEGAL BREACH

OF THE JETURIAN
INDUSTRIES SERVERS.

IT WAS A VERY
SOPHISTICATED HACK.

BUT THE CULPRIT
LEFT BEHIND A FEW

DIGITAL BREAD CRUMBS,

AND WE FOLLOWED THEM BACK

TO AN IP ADDRESS

BELONGING TO
WAYNE ENTERPRISES.

THAT'S WHY YOU'RE HERE?

WELL, IT DEPENDS.

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE
I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?

BECAUSE I THINK
CORPORATE ESPIONAGE

IS MORE THAN
ENOUGH REASON

TO HAVE A LITTLE CHAT.

I HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

MM. IGNORANCE OF

WHAT'S GOING ON
IN YOUR COMPANY

DOESN'T PASS FOR
BUSINESS ACUMEN.

IF YOU HAD PROOF,

YOU'D BE TALKING
TO THE SEC, NOT ME.

WHY ARE YOU HERE?

BECAUSE I DIDN'T
FORGE MY COMPANY

INTO A MULTINATIONAL
CONGLOMERATE

TO HAVE SOMEONE SWOOP IN

AND STEAL MY LIFE'S WORK.

AND BECAUSE...

I BELIEVE WARNINGS ARE

BEST DELIVERED DIRECTLY.

AND I'LL ONLY GIVE ONE.

STAY OUT OF MY BUSINESS.

THAT WON'T BE
A PROBLEM.

AND I THINK YOU SHOULD
DROP THE "ACTING"

FROM YOUR JOB TITLE.

DENYING YOU KNEW
ANYTHING ABOUT THIS...

WAS NOT YOUR
BEST PERFORMANCE.

YOUR DAD PROGRAMMED
YOUR SUIT'S AI

TO SPEAK WITH
HIS VOICE?

UH, DAD,
SAY HELLO TO MARY.

HELLO, MARY.

GIVE IT A TRY.

MR. FOX? HI.

WHAT WAS LUKE LIKE
AS A KID?

CALLING UP
PHOTO RECORDS

FOR LUCAS FOX,
AGE 6.

DAD, BELAY THAT
REQUEST, PLEASE.

IT'S LIKE YOU CAN
TALK TO HIM AGAIN.

IT'S...IT'S AMAZING.

IT WOULD BE MORE AMAZING
IF THE SUIT DIDN'T

TURN OFF AT THE WORST
POSSIBLE TIMES.

ANY GUESSES WHY?

ACCORDING TO
THIS DIAGNOSTIC,

THE SUIT'S FAILSAFE
GOT TRIPPED,

CAUSING IT
TO SHUT DOWN.

WHAT TRIPPED IT?
WELL, THE SUIT TRACKS

ALL KINDS OF
MEDICAL DATA--

BIOMETRICS,
EYE MOVEMENT,

ELECTROMAGNETIC IMPULSES
TO THE BRAIN,
HEART RATE.

IT'S JUST
CONSTANTLY MONITORING

THE HEALTH STATUS OF
THE PERSON WEARING IT.

IF I'M READING
THIS RIGHT,

THE SUIT THOUGHT
YOU WERE INJURED.

YEAH, WHICH PROMPTED
A SYSTEM-WIDE SHUTDOWN,

PUTTING THE SUIT
IN SAFE MODE.

TURNING OFF IN
THE MIDDLE OF A FIGHT

BECAUSE IT THINKS YOU
NEED MEDICAL ASSISTANCE

SEEMS MORE LIKE
UNSAFE MODE.
YEAH.

WELL, THERE'S A REASON
THAT THIS THING

WAS UNDER A TARP
IN MY DAD'S LAB

AND NOT OUT ON
PATROL IN GOTHAM.

STILL HAVE SOME GLITCHES
TO WORK OUT.

WELL, WHY DON'T WE
START BY MAKING SURE

THERE AREN'T ANY GLITCHES
WITH YOU FIRST.

IF THE SUIT THINKS
YOU'RE INJURED,

LET'S MAKE SURE
YOU'RE NOT.

UHH. UHH. AHH.

SO,

LET'S GET THIS MONSTER.

OH. I THOUGHT
SHE FOUND YOU.

DID I SPY
WITH MY LITTLE EYE

JADA JET'S CHOPPER
ON THE ROOF?

SO, YOU KNEW HER NAME
THIS ENTIRE TIME?

SHE'S KIND OF LIKE
A HELICOPTER PARENT,

JUST WITHOUT
THE PARENT.

I MEAN, REALLY.
WHAT KIND OF MOTHER

ABANDONS THEIR DAUGHTER
TO THE HORRORS

OF THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM
TO LITERALLY

JET-SET AROUND THE GLOBE?

NO. NO.

WE'RE NOT DOING THIS.

RENEE SAID I HAVE
TO WATCH YOU.

IT DOESN'T MEAN I
HAVE TO LISTEN TO YOU.

SO, YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW

WHERE CROC'S GONNA
STRIKE NEXT?

FINE.

WELL, AS
THE RESIDENT EXPERT

ON PREDATORY BEHAVIOR,
I HAD SOME THOUGHTS

ON HOW MR., UH,
CHOOSES HIS PREY.

I WAS THINKING BACK
TO MY FIRST KILL,

FOR WHICH I CHOSE
A GERIATRIC HARPY

WITH AN OXYGEN TANK. NOW,

DO YOU KNOW
WHY I DID THAT?

BECAUSE YOU'RE
A KILLER, ALICE.

NO. WELL, YES, BUT
THAT'S NOT THE TAKEAWAY.

I CHOSE HER
BECAUSE SHE WAS
EASY PICKINGS.

SEE, WHEN
A FLEDGLING PREDATOR

IS LEARNING HOW
TO STALK ITS PREY,

IT SEEKS TO, UM,

SEPARATE ONE
FROM THE HERD.

SO, HE WOULDN'T
HAVE GONE AFTER

TWO VICTIMS FOR
HIS FIRST HUNT.

LOOK AT YOU LEARNING
TO THINK LIKE A KILLER.

WHICH MEANS THE POOL

WASN'T THIS CROC'S
FIRST ATTACK.

AND IF IT WASN'T FOR
ALL THE BLOOD

IN THE DEEP END...

THEY WOULD'VE JUST
BEEN LISTED AS

MISSING PERSONS.

JUST LIKE
THE MISSING PERSONS I FOUND

THAT WERE LAST SEEN

AT THE EAST RIVER SHORE.

A MERE TWO MILES
FROM THE POOL ATTACK.

WELCOME TO HIS
HUNTING GROUND.

AND WITH THE TEAM
TRAILING BY ONE,

AN INCREDIBLE CROSS-FIELD PASS
FROM MEGAN RAPINOE

TO ROOKIE SENSATION
WHITNEY HUTCHINSON,

WHO FAKES OUT THE LAST DEFENDER,

AND SHE'S ON BREAKAWAY...

AND SCORES!

THE CROWD GOES WILD.

WE'RE ALL TIED UP WITH
MINUTES LEFT IN THE GAME.

WHICH THE REFS
ARE CALLING

ON ACCOUNT OF DARKNESS.

MOM!
MM-MM.

ARGUING WITH THE REF
WILL GET YOU

A YELLOW CARD.

FINE.

GROSS.

AAH!

ACCORDING
TO THE 911 CALL,

YOU'RE RIGHT IN THE AREA WHERE

THE MISSING GIRL'S MOTHER
SAID SHE WAS PLAYING.

GCPD'S EN ROUTE.

WELL, THEY'LL FIND

ABOUT AS MUCH AS WE HAVE,

WHICH ISN'T MUCH.

THERE HAS TO BE SOME SIGN
OF HER THERE.

DRAG MARKS LEAD OFF
IN THAT DIRECTION.

BUT THERE'S NO
BODY PARTS, NO BLOOD.

HE DIDN'T FEED
ON HER HERE.

WHICH IS UNDERSTANDABLE,
GIVEN HE DID JUST

FEAST ON ALL-YOU-
CAN-EAT COEDS.

THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF
SECRETION, SOPHIE.

DIDN'T YOU SAY O.G.
KILLER CROC'S SALIVA

CONTAINED A
PARALYTIC AGENT?

THAT'S HOW HE
SUBDUED HIS VICTIMS.

AND THEN STASH THEM
AWAY FOR LATER.

IT'S BASICALLY LIKE
A CROC-PANTRY,

FOR WHEN HE WANTS
A DOGGY-BAG.

OK, THEN WE NEED TO FIND
WHERE HE STASHED HER,

BECAUSE THAT GIRL
COULD STILL BE ALIVE.

YEAH.

UNTIL HE GETS HUNGRY.

IS THAT CROC SKIN?

IT APPEARS OUR CROC
IS A...GROWING BOY.

AAH!

AAH! OH!

SO, WHAT WAS
SHE LIKE? MOMMY.

SHE WAS AMAZING.

AND THEN YOU
TOOK HER FROM ME.

I MEANT BIRTH MOMMY.

BUT IF IT'LL
BREAK THE ICE,

I'LL TELL YOU
ABOUT MY MOM.

SHE HAD A REALLY GREAT
HEAD ON HER SHOULDERS.

EMPHASIS ON
THE WORD "HAD."

WHY DO YOU CARE?

WHY DO YOU KEEP
PRETENDING NOT TO?

SURELY YOU
GREW UP WONDERING

WHAT SHE WAS LIKE, AND

SEEING AS FATE,
OTHERWISE KNOWN AS ME,

HAS BROUGHT YOU TOGETHER,
I THINK I AT LEAST

DESERVE TO KNOW THAT
MY EFFORTS HAVE PAID OFF.

YOU WANT TO KNOW
WHAT JADA WAS LIKE?

SHE WAS AMAZING.

SHE WAS
CONFIDENT, DIRECT,

FEARLESS, UNAPOLOGETIC.

SHE WAS A
FREAKING MASTERCLASS

IN TAKING WHAT'S HERS.

AND LETTING IT
GO, APPARENTLY.

DID IT HURT
ALL THE MORE KNOWING

SHE DIDN'T WANT YOU
IN HER LIFE?

NO. BECAUSE I DON'T
WANT HER IN MINE.

SHE DOESN'T EVEN
KNOW WHO I AM,

BUT I KNOW WHO SHE IS
AND I DON'T NEED HER.

NOW SHUT UP AND HELP
ME FIND THE TRAIL.

ACTUALLY...I THINK WE JUST
FOUND WHERE IT ENDS.

YOU FIRST.

ME? THE ONE WHO'S

NOT WEARING IMPENETRABLE
TACTICAL ARMOR?

THAT'S WHO YOU WANT
TAKING POINT?

I'M NOT LETTING YOU
OUT OF MY SIGHT, ALICE.

DO YOU REALLY THINK
I'M GONNA RUN?

DO YOU REALLY THINK
I'M GOING TO BELIEVE

THAT YOU GIVE A DAMN
ABOUT STOPPING THIS CROC?

YES. I THINK
YOU'RE GONNA RUN

THE FIRST CHANCE
YOU GET.

SO, IT'S MY JOB
NOT TO

GIVE YOU ANY CHANCES.

OH, THAT'S FUNNY.
I THOUGHT IT WAS YOUR JOB

TO SAVE A LITTLE GIRL.

DON'T ACT LIKE YOU'RE HERE

TO DO THE GOOD
DEED, ALICE.

YOU ONLY THINK
ABOUT YOURSELF,

SO, DON'T YOU
DARE USE

THAT LITTLE GIRL
AS CAMOUFLAGE.

I WAS THAT LITTLE GIRL.

DON'T ACT LIKE
YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE

WITH ABANDONMENT ISSUES.

I WILL NOT GIVE UP
ON THIS GIRL

THE WAY EVERYONE
GAVE UP ON ME.

UCCH! THAT SMELL.

ROTTING MEAT.

KINDA TAKES ME BACK
TO MY CHILDHOOD.

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?

BAIT.

THIS MEANS WE'RE
NOT THE ONLY ONE

HUNTING THIS MONSTER.

HE'S NOT A MONSTER.

HE'S MY SON.

THIS FEELS
A BIT UNNECESSARY.

I'M FINE.

WELL, YOU'RE KEEPING FIT.

IN...MY OFFICIAL,
PROFESSIONAL

MEDICAL OPINION.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK
AT YOUR HEART RATE.

IT LOOKS GOOD.

LET'S HAVE A LISTEN
TO YOUR LUNGS.

GOOD BREATH SOUNDS.

MM. YOUR HEART RATE
IS RISING.

RISING...

STILL RISING.

NOW IT'S RACING.

LUKE, ARE YOU OK?

I--I--YEAH, YEAH.

I--I'M JUST--
I'M TICKLISH

AND YOUR HANDS
ARE COLD.

YEAH. YEAH.

YOU'RE RIGHT. I--

YOU'RE TOTALLY FINE.

TOTALLY--YOU'RE TOTALLY
FEELING FINE.

YOU CAN PUT
YOUR SHIRT BACK ON.

YEAH. OK.

IF YOU WANT.

YOU SHOULD.

UH...YEAH.
SO, LIKE I SAID,

IT'S JUST A PROBLEM
WITH THE SUIT.

AHH. YEAH.
MUST BE.

YOU THINK YOU CAN
FIX IT?

YEAH. YEAH.
IT SHOULD BE EASY.

I JUST NEED TO
OVERRIDE THE FAILSAFE.

ARE YOU SURE THAT
THAT'S A GOOD IDEA?

I MEAN, ISN'T THE POINT
OF A FAILSAFE

TO KEEP YOU SAFE
WHEN THE SUIT FAILS?

WHAT IF IT'S JUST
TRYING TO PROTECT YOU?

I THINK IT'S BEING
A LITTLE OVERPROTECTIVE.

KIND OF REMINDS ME
OF A CERTAIN

NEWLY MINTED DOCTOR
THAT I KNOW.

MY BOY DIDN'T MEAN
TO HURT THOSE PEOPLE.

I'M SURE HE DIDN'T.

HE'S NOT A KILLER.

UNLIKE THAT ONE.

I WASN'T EXPECTING TO
FIND ANYBODY DOWN HERE,

MUCH LESS A PAIR
OF CELEBRITIES.

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TWO
DOING TOGETHER, ANYWAY?

AREN'T Y'ALL SUPPOSED
TO BE ENEMIES?

LONG STORY.
SHE'S WORKING WITH ME.

THEY'RE A LITTLE
SHORT-STAFFED

AT CITY HALL.
THAT'S WHY.

WE WANT TO HELP
YOUR SON.

WHY DON'T YOU START
BY TELLING US

WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?

IT'S PROBABLY BETTER
I SHOW YOU.

JUST BEFORE STEVEN

WAS HEADING OFF TO COLLEGE,

WE WENT ON A FATHER-SON
FISHING TRIP.

HE HOOKED A BLUEGILL
ON HIS VERY FIRST CAST.

BUT WHEN WE CUT THAT THING OPEN,

THERE WAS SOMETHING
MIGHTY WEIRD INSIDE.

LET ME GUESS.

A RATHER LARGE
CROCODILE TOOTH?

YEAH. STEVEN THOUGHT
IT WOULD BE COOL

TO MAKE IT INTO
A NECKLACE.

BUT HE CUT HIMSELF
ON THE TOOTH.

CUT GOT INFECTED.

THEN STEVEN...STARTED CHANGING.

TRIED DOCTORS.

NONE OF THEM KNEW
WHAT IT WAS.

THEY COULDN'T STOP THE CHANGES.

EVERY DAY, THERE WAS
A LITTLE LESS STEVEN

AND A LITTLE MORE...CREATURE.

AND THAT'S WHEN THE
APPETITE TOOK HOLD OF HIM.

AND I HAD TO CHAIN HIM UP.
BUT HE WAS JUST TOO STRONG.

TOO HUNGRY.
HE BROKE FREE.

I'VE BEEN TRYING
TO LURE HIM BACK.

YOU REALLY ROLLED OUT
THE RED CARPET FOR HIM.

I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT
YOU'RE GOING THROUGH.

BUT WE REALLY DO WANT
TO HELP YOUR SON,

AND WE HAVE TO START
BY MAKING SURE

HE DOESN'T HURT
THAT LITTLE GIRL
OR ANYONE ELSE.

YEAH, BUT I JUST
DON'T THINK HE'S GONNA

AGREE TO BEING LOCKED UP AGAIN.

THAT'S WHERE THIS COMES IN.

YOU THINK THAT THING'S
STRONG ENOUGH FOR HIM?

YEAH. BUT IT'S NOT FOR HIM.

IT'S FOR YOU.

AAH!

I'M NOT GONNA LET YOU
HURT MY BOY.

AAH! OH!

BATWOMAN, I'M READING
A HUGE POWER SPIKE.

IS EVERYTHING OK?

BATWOMAN, DO YOU READ ME?

BATWOMAN!

I'M SORRY.
I REALLY AM.

BUT MY BOY'S
SUFFERED ENOUGH

WITHOUT YOU
ADDING TO IT.

I JUST WANT TO GET HIM
THE HELP HE NEEDS.

YEAH. YOUR IDEA
OF HELPING STEVIE

IS TAKING HIM AWAY FROM ME.

LOCKING HIM IN A CAGE,
OR WORSE.

JAB HIM WITH NEEDLES.

DISSECT HIM LIKE HE'S
SOME KIND OF LAB ANIMAL.

I'M HIS FATHER

AND I'M GONNA DO
WHATEVER I NEED TO DO

TO KEEP HIM SAFE.

EVEN IF THAT MEANS--

STEVIE, IT'S YOUR DAD.
STEVIE, NOOOO!

NO!

THAT IS YOUR SON, YEAH.

ARE YOU OK?

YEAH. I JUST
NEED A MINUTE.

OH, THAT'S GOOD.

'CAUSE THAT'S
ALL I NEED.

SUCKAS.

ONE MINUTE I HAD HER
AND THEN

EVERYTHING WENT DEAD.

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO RAISE HER

BUT I CAN'T EVEN--

BATCAVE. COME IN.

BATWOMAN, WE READ YOU.
WHAT HAPPENED?

EXACTLY WHAT I SAID
WOULD HAPPEN.

ALICE ESCAPED.
AND I CAN'T HUNT HER DOWN

AND SAVE A LITTLE GIRL.

BATWING, YOU READY TO
GET BACK TO THE FIELD?

YEAH. I'M GOOD TO GO.

SO, YOU AND MARY FIXED
WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE SUIT.

UM...YES.
BATWING IS ALL CLEAR.

GOOD.
ALICE WAS LAST HEADED

NORTH THROUGH THE SEWER TUNNELS.

IF SHE'S ON FOOT,
SHE'S GONNA WANNA CHANGE THAT.

THERE'S A TRUCK DEPOT A FEW
MILES ON THAT TRAJECTORY.

THAT'S WHERE I'D HEAD.

I HOPE YOU'RE RIGHT.

WE NEED TO FIND ALICE

BEFORE RENEE KNOWS SHE'S GONE.

HELP! SOMEBODY!

PLEASE, PLEASE.

OH, THANK GOD.

I THOUGHT THAT THING
WAS GONNA COME BACK.

AND HE PROBABLY
WILL DO SO, HON.

UP AND AT 'EM.
WE GOTTA SKEDADDLE.

I CAN'T WALK.

YOU'RE GONNA
HAVE TO TRY.

BUT MY LEG IS BROKEN.

...HEY, HON.

I'M ON A REALLY TIGHT
SCHEDULE HERE, SO,

YOU AND I THREE-LEGGED
RACING OUTTA HERE

IS REALLY GONNA
SLOW ME DOWN.

NO, NO.
YOU HAVE TO HELP ME.

FINE. I'M GONNA HELP YOU.

BY TEACHING YOU
THE LESSON THAT

I HAD TO LEARN
THE HARD WAY.

NO ONE IS GONNA
SAVE YOU EXCEPT YOURSELF.

YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE
YOU CAN COUNT ON.

THE SOONER YOU LEARN THAT,

THE BETTER OFF YOU'LL BE.

NO.

YOU'RE GONNA THANK ME
FOR THIS ONE DAY.

NO! NO!
HELP ME, PLEASE!

DON'T LEAVE ME--
DON'T LEAVE ME, PLEASE!

I KNOW
YOU'RE OUT THERE, STEVEN,

AND I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME.

THERE IS STILL SOME OF YOU

LEFT IN THERE THAT
CAN UNDERSTAND ME.

OK? I DO NOT WANT TO HURT YOU.

I JUST WANT TO HELP YOU.

AND YOUR FATHER, HE JUST
WANTS TO HELP YOU, TOO.

HE REALLY LOVES YOU.

AND TRUST ME--YOU ARE
REALLY LUCKY

TO HAVE A PARENT LIKE THAT.

SOMEONE THAT WOULD DO
ANYTHING TO PROTECT YOU.

AND NEVER GIVE UP ON YOU.
NO MATTER WHAT.

SO MUCH FOR

TRYING TO REASON WITH YOU.

MONTOYA.
WE GOT A PROBLEM.

JUST LOST
THE SIGNAL FROM

ALICE'S TRACKING MONITOR.

DEFINE "LOST."

ONE MOMENT IT'S READING
LOUD AND CLEAR.

THE NEXT, NOTHING.

IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
NO ONE'S EVER MANAGED

TO CIRCUMVENT
ONE OF THOSE THINGS.

TELL THAT TO ALICE.

THIS MEANS SHE COULD
BE ANYWHERE.

OH, GREAT.
THE SIDEKICK.

IT'S BATWING.

OOH. COOL NAME.

NOW LET'S SEE IF
YOU CAN LIVE UP TO IT.

UHH!

HOW'S THE SUIT, LUKE?
ANY PROBLEMS?

JUST THIS DISTRACTING
VOICE IN MY EAR.

DID YOU REALLY THINK
YOU COULD BEAT ME?

WHY WOULD I NEED
TO BEAT YOU?

WE'RE ON THE SAME TEAM,

WHETHER WE
LIKE IT OR NOT.

WAS SOMETHING SUPPOSED
TO HAPPEN?

IT ALREADY HAS.
RIGHT NOW,

1,000 NANOBOTS ARE

SWIMMING THROUGH
YOUR BLOODSTREAM,

SENDING OUT
TRACKING BEACONS

TO SATELLITES
AS WE SPEAK.

SO, IF YOU WANNA RUN,

YOU BETTER BE
REALLY FAST.

UHH!

UHH! UHH!

UHH!

YOU OK?

IT'S OK.

I GOT YOU.

I GOT YOU.

I THOUGHT I LOST YOU.

CONGRATULATIONS.

I SEE YOU'VE
STOPPED THE CROC,

SECURED THE TOOTH,

REUNITED A MISSING GIRL
WITH HER MOTHER,

BUT...WHAT I DON'T SEE
IS YOUR PARTNER.

SHE'S OVER THERE.

WAITING FOR YOU
TO CHAUFFEUR HER

BACK TO ARKHAM.

HAD SOME TECHNICAL
DIFFICULTIES WITH THAT,

BUT I THINK WE'VE FOUND

A BETTER SOLUTION.

RIGHT, ALICE?

LEAPIN' LIZARDS, GOTHAM!

YOU CAN ADD "BAT" TO
THE LIST OF APEX PREDATORS,

BECAUSE BATWOMAN
JUST TOOK A BITE

OUT OF CROC 2.0.

THE RAMPAGING REPTILE
HAS BEEN RELOCATED

TO THE NOT-SO-NATURAL HABITAT
OF ARKHAM ASYLUM,

WHERE I'M ASSUMING THE GUARDS'

HAZARD PAY JUST WENT UP.

THANKS TO THE CAPED CRUSADER,

THE CROC WAS DENIED
HIS LAST MEAL

AND MISSING GIRL
WHITNEY HUTCHINSON

WAS REUNITED WITH HER MOTHER
IN A REUNION THAT HAD

EVEN THE LIKES OF YOURS TRULY
A LITTLE WEEPY.

REST ASSURED, GOTHAM,

THESE WERE NOT CROCODILE TEARS.

YOU KNOW...
IF YOU SQUINT,

YOU CAN
JUST MAKE OUT

JETURIAN INDUSTRIES
FROM HERE.

I LIKED IT BETTER
WHEN I DIDN'T KNOW

SHE WAS THERE.

I'M SORRY.

I SHOULD'VE NEVER
TOLD YOU.

IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.

IT'S NOBODY FAULT.
EXCEPT HERS.

♪ SLOW MOTION DREAMING

YOU KNOW WHAT
I CAN'T GET OVER?

SHE PAID A DOCTOR
$2 MILLION

TO FALSIFY HER
RECORDS SO NO ONE

WOULD EVER KNOW
I WAS HERS.

WHAT KIND OF MOM
DOES THAT?

♪ I KNOW, I KNOW THAT...

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT
HER LIFE WAS LIKE THEN,

OR WHAT SHE WAS
GOING THROUGH,

OR EVEN WHAT
HER OPTIONS WERE.

BUT THERE IS
ONE PERSON WHO CAN

GIVE YOU THOSE ANSWERS.

♪ DON'T GIVE UP NOW

I DON'T KNOW IF
I WANT TO KNOW THEM.

RYAN, I KNOW
WHAT IT'S LIKE

TO NEED TO PUT UP
A WALL.

BELIEVE ME,
I'VE LAID A FEW

BRICKS IN MY LIFE.

BUT I ALSO KNOW
WHAT IT'S LIKE

TO BE A GIRL WHO JUST

WANTS A HUG FROM HER MOM.

♪ NEEDED A LIE

♪ MORE THAN MY THOUGHTS

WHAT IF SHE DOESN'T
WANT ME AS HER DAUGHTER?

♪ HOLDING ON

THEN IT'LL BE HER LOSS.

NOT YOURS.

♪ NEEDED A LIE

♪ MORE THAN MY THOUGHTS

SORRY I BANGED UP
THE SUIT A LITTLE BIT.

♪ NEEDED A LIE

DAD.♪ MORE THAN MY THOUGHTS

DAD?

OHH. WHY ISN'T HE TALKING?

I DON'T KNOW.

MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE
YOU REMOVED

THE FAILSAFE.

AND I THINK YOU NEED
TO TURN IT BACK ON.

I MANAGED TO PINPOINT
WHERE THE SUIT

STILL THINKS YOU'RE INJURED
AND IT'S THE EXACT

SAME PLACE WHERE
YOU WERE SHOT.

YEAH, BUT THAT
INJURY'S HEALED.

I KNOW.
BUT THANKS TO
THE DESERT ROSE,

YOU DON'T EVEN
HAVE A SCAR.RIGHT.

A PHYSICAL ONE, ANYWAY.

I THINK WHAT THE SUIT
IS INTERPRETING

AS PHYSICAL PAIN
IS ACTUALLY

PSYCHOLOGICAL PAIN.

MARY, COME ON.

THAT'S ABSURD.

IS IT?

YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH
SO MUCH.

JUST BECAUSE
YOUR BODY IS HEALED

DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE.

THIS IS A PROBLEM.

BOTANIST IN THE LAB
DOESN'T THINK

THIS VINE IS ONE OF
POISON IVY'S.

ONLY WAY TO BE
100% SURE IS

TO RUN TESTS ON IT,

BUT THE ONLY WAY
TO DO THAT...

IS TO OPEN IT.

BUT HE WASN'T
WILLING TO DO THAT.

HOW'D YOU KNOW IT
WASN'T THE REAL THING?

BECAUSE I'VE SEEN IT
UP CLOSE.

AND IF THE REAL THING
IS STILL OUT THERE...

GOD HELP US.

WAIT. EXCUSE ME. MISS.

I'M AFRAID YOU CAN'T
JUST GO IN THERE.

I'M SORRY, MS. JET.

SHE JUST WALKED
RIGHT IN.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

I DROPPED IN
ON MS. WILDER

UNANNOUNCED YESTERDAY.

SHE'S JUST
RETURNING THE FAVOR.

I THOUGHT YOU AND I AGREED

YOU'D STAY OUT OF
MY BUSINESS.

I AM.

THIS IS PERSONAL.

BECAUSE I'M
YOUR DAUGHTER.

GREG, MOVE YOUR HEAD.
