Anarchy in the GC
- Commissioner Gordon tries to question an uncooperative Joker about why Harvey never arrived home.
- When that goes nowhere, he leaves the room to let Batman take a turn.
- The Joker opines that there's nothing all the different about the two of them and that Batman's going to have to kill somebody if he wants to save Harvey… and Rachel, who was apparently nabbed too.
- After some heavy threats that seem to go nowhere, the Joker reveals Harvey and Rachel's locations… in two separate buildings. Batman sets off to rescue Rachel while Gordon speeds towards Harvey's location.
- Harvey awakens surrounded by barrels of explosives, with Rachel in the same predicament. They can talk to each other over a radio.
- The Joker engineers a master escape, first by holding a policeman hostage with a broken shard of mirror, then detonating an explosive he kept hidden in the stomach of one of his henchmen downstairs.
- He nabs Mr. Lau and takes off, reveling in the anarchy he's caused.
- Batman arrives at Rachel's location only to discover that the Joker switched locations. There's no Rachel, only Harvey.
- Batman rescues Harvey in the nick of time, but Harvey's face is badly burned in the process: earning him a free ride in Mr. Ambulance.
- Gordon arrives at the other location, too late to keep Rachel from joining the Dead Girlfriends We Must Avenge club.
- Batman finds Harvey's lucky coin, with one of its two heads now pitted and scarred. He leaves it with Harvey in his hospital room.
- Gordon visits an altered Harvey Dent. His scars are terrible, and he wallows in the reality of the cruel nickname the GPD had for him: Harvey Two-Face.
- The Joker burns his half of the money, and cuts up one of the last mobsters standing in the way of his hold on the underworld.
- That angry accountant at Wayne Enterprises shows up on the evening news, ready to reveal Batman's identity.
- While burning up all the money the mob gave him (along with Mr. Lau), the Joker calls into the news show and tells them he doesn't want anyone knowing who Batman is.
- He threatens to blow up a hospital unless some good citizen out there murders the Wayne Enterprises accountant.
- Someone tries. But Bruce stops them through the timely sacrifice of a really expensive Lamborghini.
- Meanwhile, that whole "hospital blowing up" thing is still on. The Joker pays a friendly visit to Harvey in the hospital and gives him the push he needs to really go nuts. The freshly minted Harvey Two-Face heads out to get even with Maroni, and the Joker blows the place to kingdom come.
- The Joker has another video to share with Gotham. This time he tortures the news anchor who was willing to reveal Batman's secret identity. His message: he has taken control of Gotham, and he will make the rules
- Gotham City goes berserk, setting the stage for the final conflict.
