Kathy...? I'm sorry. I don't want to frighten you. I did once when you saw me through the window at your home. I know I look scary and there have been too many scary things in your life. So I want you to see – I'm just a man, a man who's trying to help.

Synopsis for "Night Cries"
While investigating drug pushers, Batman and Commissioner James Gordon notice a common trend in a series of murders involving child abuse, and the death of the children's parents.
The two embark on a quest to find the serial killer, but Batman quickly finds himself accused of being the enraged vigilante who is killing the abusers. At the same time, Commissioner Gordon must come to terms with the abuse of his past. Both men try desperately to find the real killer, realizing they may never be able to break the vicious cycle of crimes which continues to occur in the privacy of people's own home.
