First Clayface III.
THE HOUSE THAT HAUNTED BATMAN
Batman checks up on Rupert Thorne, who now occupies a padded cell at Arkham Asylum. Batman is concerned as to why Thorne gave away all his plans and revealed his information, clearing Batman's name in the process and a clearly deranged Thorne explains that he was forced by the ghost of Hugo Strange, a man he killed on his quest to learn Batman's secret identity. Commissioner Gordon and Batman leave the madman to himself and they reflect upon the current situation. While Gordon pities the once notorious gangster, Batman feels sympathy, as he was once tricked by another formidable enemy, making him believe that he had lost his mind. As Batman's memories fade away, his attention is drawn back to Arkham, where Gordon has been talking to him, but Batman had not listened, busy with his own memories. At that moment in the Bowery of Gotham, a mysterious cloaked figure regretfully attacks a homeless man, leaving no trace of him after the attack.
