Synopsis for "Lovers & Madmen (Part II) - Peace In Arms"

Batman finds the body of a dead guard. A note is pinned to his chest, thanking Batman for "making his day". Batman is frustrated with the new enemy that has been cutting a bloody swathe across the city. All the work Batman has accomplished is slowly unraveling.

The gangster Maletesta tells Batman that he met "Jack" when he was a shooter for the Berlanti crime family. Maletesta wants to see him eliminated just as much as Batman and offers to finish the job if he needs help taking Jack out of the picture.

Batman returns home to the Batcave where Alfred has been laboring to put together an elaborate computer network. As the computer is not yet ready, he advises Bruce to pay a visit to Lorna Shore. After a dinner date, Bruce brings Lorna back to Wayne Manor, and she spends the night with him.

Days later, Bruce returns to the Batcave and finds that Alfred has finished hooking up the new computer. After feeding information into the system, they extrapolate what Jack's most likely target will be: the Gotham Museum of Art.
