Synopsis: - A pregnant young girl staggers into Leslie Thompkins' clinic with a bullet-wound, and the doctors do their best to save her. Meanwhile, Batman encounters Biggie Tiny, a former sportsman now involved with the Hill's street gangs. Here, he is shot, but the only liquid left behind is water, not blood. He is soon called for help by Leslie Thompkins, who needs him to find the girl's next of kin, as he condition is getting very serious. The girl is Neisha Dupris, currently in supposed foster care, though potentially living with her sister Helen. In the search, Batman encounters a number of parent-less children, which reminds him of how Leslie took him in when his parents were killed. And when he returns, with only a little more information than he had in the first place, he discovers that Leslie and Neisha have gone.

Comment(s):
- Continued from previous issue and continues in the next issue.
Synopsis: - The Tailor recollects the outing with the villain team Mayhem seven years ago that got him into trouble. They planned a massive robbery, but unfortunately Batman arrived sooner than expected and they had to split up. The Tailor never made it to their meeting point and everyone assumed he had absconded with the cash and ratted them out, as all were soon under arrest. However, although he had escaped, he was far from unscathed, suffering some serious injuries. He was not the traitor.
