He also found a project that Harold had been working on: a rail car for traveling on Gotham's subways. Tim received his hard-ship driver's license. He went back to the cave to get the car Bruce promised him and was confronted by Jean-Paul. Robin escaped in the Red Bird and went out on his own. The Tally Man broke loose on crime boss "Big" Mike Mahoon. Jean-Paul questioned his life, and the Tally Man attacked after killing two Mahoons. As Jean-Paul defeated the Tally Man, he confused himself over if he was Batman or Azrael. A hitman, Mekros, was hired to take out Batman. Gordon began to doubt Batman being The Batman. Mekros was defeated, and Mayor Kroll warned Gordon about Batman. Catwoman, now back in Gotham, attempted to stop a neurotoxin from being stolen and distributed. Batman (she knew it wasn't The Batman) tried to foil her sabotage, not knowing it was sabotage. Batman escaped, but Catwoman was surrounded by the police. She escaped and was able to convince Batman to help her. After the conference, Batman helped take down an illegal baby selling ring. Az-Bat continued having visions of St. Dumas. Joker began making a movie called "The Death of Batman." Jean-Paul is confused by the movie monsters that have been attacking Gotham. He saw Robin falling from a dorm window. Joker's movie continued, running Batman through every cliche known to the film industry. Batman catches the Joker (who also realized he wasn't The Batman). The police again had to restrain him from excessive force. Joker escaped his ambulance. Abattoir killed 5 members of his family, Batman stopped him on the sixth (though he escaped). While attempting to track Abbattoir down, Batman was attacked by Lady Clayface. He stopped her and her husband, Preston Payne - Clayface Three. Abboitor captured his final family member. Batman continues to search for him, as does the mercenary Ballistic. Ballistic and Batman took down some mooks; Ballistic was paid off and left Gotham. A sniper named Gunhawk shot and killed a millionaire from almost a mile; Bullock asked Batman to look into it. Batman and Robin (seperately) tracked Abboitor down; after a confrontation, Batman allowed Abboitor to fall to his death. Gordon called Batman a murderer, as AzBats continued his crusade by taking down Gunhawk. Bruce returned to Gotham, only to be thrown out of his home by Batman. After hearing the stories Robin told him about his absence, he decided not to retire, but to get back in shape and defeat Jean-Paul.
