The screen cuts to Gotham City 1993 with a gong playing in the background 

It has been a year since the Christmas event with the Penguin the Catwoman has been a wanted fugitive for the murder of Max Shrek but she has been MIA after Christmas Eve 

But since then Gotham has been quiet and during  then Harvey Dent returns home after a holiday retreat for his reelection as District Attorney of Gotham City 

He had time to catch up everything  that happened since the last laugh of the Joker from Gordon the Mayor even from his good friend Bruce Wayne Who funded his campaign then and now 

Bruce mostly has been occupied with his alter ego searching for Selina 

He took her cat Ms Kitty since he found her in the snowy ally at the end of Batman Returns 

Mostly Alfred attended on feeding the cat while Bruce was in the batcave Selina has been a no show for a whole month he doesn't understand why when he offered her a chance for a fresh start with him but Selina said no right before she killed Max Shrek 

He thought they had something together...maybe but maybe not

But after that month rumors of a new player in town start spreading around Gotham GCPD had been finding boxes and trophies of green question marks around  the city many goons only gave them a name of this mystery individual in the shadows of Gotham 

The Riddler 

One night there was a break in at a wearhouse  goons in black masks and green trim were searching shelves and crates 

They talked about why they're here and the rumors going on 

Goon # 1: Tell me why we're here again? 

Goon # 2: Because of the guy in the Green suit that's leaving green Question marks all over the place. 

Goon # 3: Yeah who is he again? The Puzzler? 

Goon # 2: Nah the Riddler. 

Goon # 4: Riddler? I hear he ain't all there.  

Goon # 2: Maybe not But no one knows who he is or what he looks like. Besides the green thing. 

The goons continue  searching  gut then begins placing bombs around but all of a sudden one of the gets grabbed from the shadows startling another  Goon he calls out to him but then he's pulled up from above 

The other goons heard him screaming and to their shock....

The Dark Knight appears before them 

This is the first time we see Batman in action since Penguin he pumbles the goons brutally punching them throwing batterings at goons knocking out their guns and still beats them up 

Batman finished them all off in a jiffy one was left conscious on the floor Batman grabs him by the arm in a tight grip to interrogate him

Batman: Who hired you to break in?!

Goon # 2: I don't know the bastard called us but we never met him in person !

Batman: You don't want to lie to me.

Goon # 2: I'm not I swear he's a complete  Enigma! But he calls himself the Riddler! That's all I know I swear! 

Batman: Then the next time he calls you tell him I'm going to find him.

The Dark Knight knees him the jaw knocking him out Batman turns around vanishing into darkness 

Minutes later GCPD arrived at the scene lead by Commissioner Jim Gordon 

And his newly young partner Lt. Harvey Bullock (Played by Jim Doughan)

They find the goons beaten to death and tied together 

Bullock: All mighty. After the past four years this pet bat yours continues to interfere with Police business! 

Gordon: At least he caught them. That's all that matters. Reports say there was more than a break in. According to the last Riddle we found they were planting bombs.

Bullock: I'm not one to complain but we're way behind given we're letting your friend solve this for us and we have no clue who's behind this. Who is this Riddler anyway? Where did he come from?

Gordon: Well you got me on that. That's why we need all the help we can get.  Including Batman's. 

Bullock: Yeah but he gets all the glory. 

Bullock didn't seem to be the biggest fan of Batman while on the force more like a jealous type 

From behind them a man in a hat and trench coat came under the yellow tap it was Alexander Knox the reporter 

Last time we saw him it was during the events in 1989 and during last year he was working behind the scenes of the Penguin reports off screen now he comes back out on the Riddler case

Gordon: For the love of Mary Knox! Get your ass out of here.

Knox: Just a few words Commissioner. I hear we just received another Riddle. That makes 15 this month? Is the Batman on the Police Payroll on this one too?

Gordon: No comment.  

Knox: Lt Bullock? What's your latest take? 

Bullock: You want to know? Piss off! 

Bullock left the scene leaving Knox unsatisfied not getting the word he was looking for 

However a Female Cop approached Gordon distressed 

Female Cop: Commissioner we just received a report from City Hall. The DA is missing.

Gordon: Missing?

Now Gordon was distress as Knox recorded this 

Gordon: Get units down to the scene! I want every lead possible! 

(A new case opens in Chapter 2.....)
