Synopsis for "The Four Families of Gotham"
In 1881, Nicholas and Bradley Gate detail their plans for a greater Gotham to Cobblepot, Elliot and Wayne. Their expansion on Cyrus Pinkney's designs commissioned by Solomon Wayne leads to the construction of Wayne Tower at the center of the city, making them well-known as the "Gates of Gotham."
In the present, Architect has kidnapped Hush and the GCPD investigate his disappearance. Batman places his crew to observe possible danger spots, and Blackbat evacuates the Iceberg Lounge after another bomb threat. They discover Hush tied to a bomb inside Wayne Tower, and Batman is forced to let it explode if he wants Hush to survive.
