"Knightfall (Part VIII) - Burning Questions"
The Riddler's goons decide they've had enough of waiting for him to concoct riddles relating to their next big score. They decide to take on the job themselves without him, and chase him out onto the streets in a rain of bullets. Dejected and disappointed, the Riddler wonders why his riddles haven't received any response from the GCPD. After passing an electronics store, he comes up with a new way to give his riddles to a much wider audience.
In the Batcave, Robin works off some of his frustrations regarding the fact that Batman allowed him to do all of the footwork for the Firefly case, but has made him sit out on the bust. The last place on Robin's list of potential targets for Firefly is Gotham City Zoo.
Bored, Robin begins channel surfing on the Batcomputer's TV monitor, much to Alfred's disgust. He happens upon the Cassie Josie Rudolpho show, where a former Arkham Asylum employee, Dr. Simpson Flander, is hawking his new pop-psychology book. When Cassie takes questions from the audience, one audience member steps up, and begins asking riddles. It is the Riddler in disguise, and he has rigged himself with dynamite. Robin heads for the studio where the show is filmed as fast as he can.
At the Zoo, Batman seeks out Firefly, following the arsonist's peals of mad laughter. Fortunately, Batman has outfitted himself with a flame resistant Batsuit and a re-breather, to withstand Firefly's attacks. Still the heat drains him of his energy, and the weight of the suit drags him down. As a result of his exhaustion, Batman clumsily falls into a cage with some leopards, who angrily attack. Firefly takes the opportunity to make his escape while Batman is forced to use flame-retardant Halon on the cats to daze them, and give chase. He manages to catch up with Firefly enough to wrap his Batrope around the villain, and leave him dangling over an alligator pit.
While the police struggle to come up with a way to handle the Riddler's commandeering of a live talk-show, Robin sneaks in through through a vent, and leaps down onto the stage, spraying Riddler's hand with a fast-acting epoxy to keep him from being able to activate the detonator to the dynamite around his chest. Harvey Bullock and the bomb squad rush in, and arrest the Riddler, and Bullock warns Robin that he could have killed everyone by being so brash, and acting alone. Meanwhile, the Riddler's former gang has broken into the post office, and stolen a fortune in blank money orders, stamps, and cash. As they make their getaway, however, they come face to face with Huntress, who apprehends them all without much effort. With Firefly captured, Batman keeps count of the eight minor Arkham escapees that he's recaptured, but worries that he won't have the stamina to face Riddler, Scarecrow and Joker - not to mention Bane.

"Knightfall (Part XVIII) - The Devil You Know"
Jean-Paul Valley is determined to find Bane and bring him down. Part of his motivation stems from a need to prove himself as the new Batman. He visits Commissioner Gordon at Gotham City Police Headquarters, hoping to find out if Bane's recently captured Henchman have given him up.
Though Bullock and Kitch have questioned them for nearly 24 hours, the hoods seem unlikely to talk. Batman asks where the underlings are being held, but when Gordon finishes telling him, he realizes that, uncharacteristically, Batman is still in the room. He begins to suspect that this is a different Batman than he is used to dealing with.
After being questioned, Zombie, Trogg and Bird are returned to their cells. Suddenly, a bag containing a gas mask falls into Bird's cell with a note saying "Watch and wait. - B." Believing that their boss has decided to spring them, Bird dons the mask, and a smoke grenade goes off outside the cell, giving him the chance to spring his friends. All the while, the Batman watches from a safe distance.
At Drake Manor, Tim Drake has to cover for his father's kidnapping in front of the housekeeper, Mrs. McIlvaine. However, Tim has difficulties masking his concern, with his father and Dr. Shondra Kinsolving kidnapped, and his broken mentor Bruce Wayne gone to look for them in Santa Prisca with Alfred Pennyworth. Despite the fact that Jean-Paul has made it clear that Robin is not a welcome partner, Tim concludes that Bruce Wayne is the only man who can take his role away from him, and that he will continue.
Bane's henchman return to his hideout, but he professes no knowledge of their escape. Obviously, Batman helped them to escape so that they would lead him to Bane. Moments later, the Batman bursts through the window. He takes out the goons, and is suddenly struck by Bane. Bane is annoyed that he must face what he believes is a pretender. Jean-Paul claims that he is the only Batman worth concerning himself with. Jean-Paul's aggressiveness and apparent willingness to kill amuses Bane, who suggests that this pretender could bring ruin to the Batman's name - knowing well that Bruce Wayne would never kill.
Despite Jean-Paul's confidence in his abilities, Bane soon has him at his mercy. He prepares to drop Jean-Paul from a great height to his death below.
