Eight years ago, the Joker and Killer Moth had the idea of hiring actor Paul Sloan to take Two-Face's place in a plan to kill Batman. Scarecrow, Penguin, the Riddler and the Mad Hatter were also in on the plan, and are now being killed off by Sloan, whom Scarecrow had told them was dead. Batman then asks for a favor from James Gordon and is granted an interview with the Joker at Slabside Penitentiary.
