After doping Bruce Wayne up with "weapons grade Crystal Meth," Dr. Hurt has Bruce stripped of any identification or money and leaves him for dead out on the streets of Gotham. Feeling inspired by seeing his cohorts in the Black Glove back in their old costumes, Hurt decides to don the original Bat-Man costume first worn by Thomas Wayne. Hurt declares the Batcave his personal base of operations for his siege on Gotham. While a beaten and bloody Alfred sits barely conscious and tied to a chair, Hurt jokes that perhaps if Bruce ever does make it back to Wayne Manor he'll hire him as his own butler.
