Becoming the Riddler
Six months after the death of Mayor Cobblepot, the mysterious serial killer who calls himself "The Riddler," is murdering people in Gotham, hoping to get Batman’s attention.

After a bombing, Batman chases the Riddler who is challenging him, but falls off a roof in the process of attempting to catch him.

Though Batman finds the Riddler's sewer-based hideout, he fails to stop the killer from bombing a rapid transit train. Using discovered clues, Batman deduces that these killings were not random; they were actually targeted, specifically that the Riddler is targeting the people who Mayor Jessica Dent and her brother Harvey are trying to find as trying to take over the remains of Cobblepot's criminal network, such as Sal Maroni. Bruce is later accused of being the Riddler after the real Riddler frames him in an attempt to divert James Gordon's investigation, but Jessica is able to provide Bruce an alibi so he is not arrested. During a riot at the police precinct caused by the Riddler, Harvey Dent is disfigured and wounded by Cobblepott's former henchman Sal Maroni, dying as a result of serious wounds caused by a Molotov cocktail hitting his face directly, and Jessica goes insane with grief, disfiguring her own face. After chasing the Riddler (and with Waylon Jones’ help) Batman subdues the killer.
