Synopsis:
Batman fights a masked murderer known as the Ravager on the edge of a damn. He is wounded, and the killer is knocked into the water. The battle is observed from afar by someone who has deduced Batman's secret identity.

When Batman returns home, Alfred patches him up. He also gives Bruce a lecture about uses his fists instead of his head. When Batman goes out again to stop a warehouse robbery, Alfred's words give him cause to consider. He realizes that Two-Face is back in town.

Meanwhile, the observer tries to track down Dick Grayson through his connection to the Titans. A search of Dick's apartment leads him to the Haly Circus.
