It had been a night or two since the incident with Deadshot in downtown Gotham, as well as the authorities finding Bane's near lifeless body with plant remains and soil all around the area. Bane was still in the intensive care unit of the hospital, while Deadshot managed to escape. Bruce was hard at work in his cave and went with the lead he had. Are the new heroes in Gotham allies or potential threats? He remembered a tracker he gave the plant creature from months earlier and pulled up a GPS signal on the largest monitor of his bat cave computers. He wasn't too shocked by what'd he'd discovered...

"Independent Acres. One of the places I was looking into for possible hideouts for Pamela Isley. Is she connected to the creature..." Bruce thought with his mask off, "What do you think Alfred..?" he started to say looking over his shoulder only to see Alfred knocked out cold and a ninja striking his temple with the power of five baseball bats.

A graying man sat in dimmed light in a shady hotel. The curtains just barely kept the bright lights of Gotham out. An empty bottle of Jack Daniels is on the floor and the man peeks out of the window with his left eye giving an almost stare into the sun kind of expression. Suddenly, a message popped up on the laptop resting on the generic table also by the window. 

"The Bat hasn't been seen in two nights and Deadshot is still running free. The League of Assassins may already have a foot in Gotham. Lawton may be our only lead...- H"

The older man knelled down and typed a message for the Hacker...

"What do you know about swamp creatures in Gotham? - J"
