- Huntress escapes the fiery trap that Councilman Gresham set for her. Weeks later, during his tour of the fire-torn South Gotham, Gresham falls through the floor and ends up trapped by Huntress. She tosses him a homemade bomb that she saw him plant the previous night, proving he's been behind all the fires. During a scuffle, Gresham falls back and the bomb explodes, killing him. The urban renewal project gets its funding, and ironically the first project completed will be named after Gresham.
