Ep. 4: Batman and Gordon investigate a cathedral riot involving Cardinal O'Fallon and Killer Croc.

4

The Gotham City Police Department responds to a riot at Gotham Cathedral where Cardinal O'Fallon was preaching. Eyewitnesses report the Cardinal was abducted by a large lizard-like monster into the crypts. Police Lt. Jim Gordon and Major Crimes Unit detectives Crispus Allen and Anna Ramirez investigate. Gordon briefly speaks with Batman, who theorizes the Scarecrow's fear toxin caused the riot, noting the doctor has been at large since the Narrows riot during Batman Begins. Batman provides Gordon with an earpiece and descends underground. A homeless man in an abandoned subway station identifies the abductor as Killer Croc. Batman and Gordon discuss Croc's past before Croc appears under the influence of fear toxin and attacks Batman. Batman defeats him but sustains a bite that transfers some toxin to him. Batman finds Cardinal O'Fallon on trial for death by the Scarecrow, who is displeased with the Cardinal's aid to the homeless. Batman intervenes, sparking an explosion using room methane to destroy water pipes and flood the area, enabling his escape with the Cardinal. The Scarecrow escapes, and Gordon arrives in a helicopter to retrieve the Cardinal, offering help. Batman declines, saying "Maybe next time," and flies off into the night.
