Lovecraft

In the most recent episode titled "Lovecraft", some hit men, lead by a rather flexible woman, come after Catwoman (hereinafter referred to as 'Cat'), who happens to be staying at the Wayne household. In these scenes, we see that Alfred can clearly defend himself to a great extent as he fights of the perpetrators after urging Bruce and Cat to run (You go, Alfred!). They obey and end up in the streets where Cat takes Bruce to a place well-known to street kids. Here, Cat runs in to an old friend by the name of Ivy and sources reveal that this girl is intended to be the fetus villain Poison Ivy. She doesn't say much but in the words of Cat, "She's scary." After going through the motions, Bruce and Cat find themselves trapped in a building being hunted, in a sense, by the hit men and luckily Cat manages to escape. Bruce is left to fend for himself but he had no need to worry because he was not part of the "contract". I wonder who signed it. Soon after, Alfred shows up and he and Bruce have a heartwarming hug.

Lovecraft is (or was, considering that he's now deceased) the name of the man assumed to be behind the Wayne murders. Because Cat witnessed the murder, Gordon believed these hit men were sent by him leading him to confront Lovecraft in his home. His claims are questioned when he finds Lovecraft cowering in his room, gun at the ready, claiming that the same people were coming after him. Lo and behold, seconds later, the lead woman and her entourage bust in the house. Gordon tries to fight them off but is knocked out and when he comes to, there is a surprise for him in the bathroom. Lovecraft in the tub with a bullet hole smack in the middle of his forehead and Gordon's gun on the floor.

The mayor dubs this murder a suicide, no doubt to save himself from any trouble the murder would cause him. Naturally, the mayor blames Gordon for everything because he's a class A douchebag. In the end, Gordon gets reassigned to work at Arkham and that, to say the least, is going to be interesting.
