History
Retirement
Carmine was forced by Joker to retire during the War of Jokes and Riddles.
Following a deadly train accident supposedly caused by Commissioner Jim Gordon [3], Carmine reappeared in Gotham City, ready to take control of it again. Things seemed easy with Mayor Hady in his pocket, but he had to contend of with Batman.
While the Mayor sent the GCPD after Batman, Falcone began attacking his biggest rival, the Penguin [4].
Eventually, Falcone's attempt to take over Gotham failed and he was arrested, despite his connections in the GCPD, who were also arrested [5]. Falcone would later be involved in a riot in Blackgate Prison caused by loyalists against the Penguin [6], that was later put down.
