PLOT:
Batman, Robin, Gordon, and Bullock checked out the latest crime scene - Magpie was dead. Bullock told them KGBeast had been found the same way - two bullets to the head. The kill seemed
personal since all of Magpie's birds in her personal aviary had also been killed.
Back at the cave, Bruce and Alfred talked. The guns which killed KGBeast and Magpie were the same. They were traced back to Harvey Dent, the former "Two-Face." He then mentioned plans for day time help, and something for Tim. Later, Batman told Robin to head to Police HQ, he'd meet him there in an hour.
As he watched the "Dynamic Duo" take down Mad Hatter, Harvey thought about Batman and the various Robins. He began to believe this third one was almost as in synch now with Batman as the first had been. He wondered if the third had been trained by the first. He battled back Two-Face as he considered his future as a vigilante.
Arnold Wesker - the Ventriloquist - was broken in on. He and his puppet, Scarface were shot. He seemed to know the shooter.
Batman visited Jason Bard in his apartment and found that the private detective had been sleeping with one of his clients (whom he deduced was the real case's killer).
Ethics aside, Batman acknowledged the man had no fear of him then asked to put him on retainer. Bard took the job and was given some files to check out. Batman took Bard's "client" in.
