Category:Logan Wayne (Earth-9602)/Appearances

In New Gotham City, the Hyena robs a mob bank with his accomplices, whom he tricks into killing one another, ultimately killing the last one himself. While investigating the robbery, Dark Claw and Lieutenant James Gordon contemplate including new district attorney HarveyMurdock in their plan to eradicate the mob. However, Dark Claw wonders if Murdock can be trusted. Wayne runs into Rachel Rachel Silverfox and Murdock, who are dating, and after talking to Murdock, he realizes Murdock's sincerity and decides to host a fundraiser for him. Mob bosses Sal Maroni, Gambol, and the Chechen meet with other underworld gangsters to discuss both Dark Claw and Murdock, who have been cracking down on the mobster's operations. Lau, a Chinese mafia accountant, informs them that he has hidden their money and fled to Hong Kong in an attempt to preempt Gordon's plan to seize the mobsters' funds and hide fromMurdock's jurisdiction. The Hyena appears and offers to kill Dark Claw for half of the mafia's money, but they flatly refuse and Gambol places a bounty on the Hyena's head. Not long after, the Hyena kills Gambol and takes control of his men.

In Hong Kong, Dark Claw captures Lau using a skyhook, and delivers him to the New Gotham City police, where Lau agrees to testify against the mob.Murdock and Gordon arrest the mob, and in retaliation the Hyena issues an ultimatum to Gotham: people will die each day until Dark Claw reveals his identity. When Commissioner Gillian B. Loeb and the judge presiding over the mob trials are killed, the public readily blames Dark Claw, prompting Wayne to decide to reveal his identity. Before Logan can turn himself in,Murdock holds a press conference to try and persuade the public not to sell Dark Claw out just because of one terrorist. However the public, though grateful for everything Dark Claw has done for the city, insists that things have now reached a point where Dark Claw must make the sacrifice, so Murdock announces that he himself is Dark Claw and is arrested as part of a plan to draw the Hyena out of hiding. The Hyena attempts to ambush the police convoy carryingMurdock, but Dark Claw and Gordon intervene and capture him. In recognition of his actions, Gordon is appointed the new police commissioner.

Later that night,Murdock and Rachel Silverfox disappear. At the police station, Dark Claw interrogates the Hyena, who reveals thatMurdock's and Rachel Silverfox' police escorts were corrupt police and have placed them in warehouses rigged with explosives on opposite sides of the city—far enough apart so that Dark Claw cannot save them both. Dark Claw leaves to save Rachel Silverfox, while Gordon and the police head afterMurdock. With the aid of a smuggled bomb, the Hyena escapes police custody with Lau. Dark Claw arrives, but findsMurdock instead of Rachel Silverfox. Dark Claw successfully savesMurdock, but the ensuing explosion disfiguresMurdock's face. Gordon arrives at Rachel Silverfox' location too late, and she perishes when the bomb detonates. Unable to cope with this new level of chaos, Maroni goes to Gordon and offers him the Hyena's location. Aboard a cargo ship, the Hyena burns Lau to death atop a pile of half the mob's money, and has the Chechen killed before taking control of his men.

Meanwhile, an M&A lawyer working as a consultant to Wayne Enterprises, Coleman Reese, finds out Dark Claw's identity and after failing to blackmail the company, decides to go public. However, realizing that he does what he does only because of Dark Claw, the Hyena changes his mind about revealing Dark Claw's identity and issues a public ultimatum: either Reese is killed within the hour, or he will blow up a hospital. When attempts on Reese's life are foiled, the Hyena goes to the evacuated hospital, disguised as a nurse, and freesMurdock from his restraints, convincing him to exact revenge on the people whose corruption led to Rachel Silverfox' death.Murdock begins by flipping a coin to decide if he should kill the Hyena, and spares him. The Hyena destroys the hospital on his way out, and then escapes with a hijacked bus full of hospital patients.

Out of the hospital,Murdock goes on a personal vendetta, confronting Maroni and the corrupt cops one by one and flipping his coin to decide their fates. Now with complete control over the Gotham mob, the Hyena announces to the public that anyone left in Gotham at nightfall will be subject to his rule. With the bridges and tunnels out of the city closed due to a warning by the Hyena, authorities begin evacuating people by ferry. The Hyena has explosives placed on two of the ferries—one ferry with convicts, who were evacuated in an effort to keep the Hyena from freeing them, and the other with civilians—telling the passengers the only way to save themselves is to trigger the explosives on the other ferry; otherwise, he will destroy both at midnight. Dark Claw locates the Hyena and the hostages he has taken. Realizing the Hyena has disguised the hostages as his own men, Dark Claw is forced to attack both Gordon's SWAT team and the Hyena's henchmen to save the real hostages.

The Hyena's plan to destroy the ferries fails after the passengers on both decide not to destroy each other. Dark Claw finds the Hyena, and after a brief fight, is able to subdue him, preventing him from destroying both ferries. When Dark Claw refuses to kill the Hyena, the Hyena acknowledges that Dark Claw is truly incorruptible, but thatMurdock was not, and that he has unleashedMurdock upon the city. Leaving the Hyena for the SWAT team, Dark Claw searches forMurdock. At the remains of the building where Rachel Silverfox died, Dark Claw findsMurdock holding Gordon and his family at gunpoint.Murdock judges the innocence of Dark Claw, himself, and Gordon's son through three coin tosses. As the result of the first two flips, he shoots Dark Claw in the abdomen and spares himself. BeforeMurdock can determine the boy's fate, Dark Claw, who was wearing body armor, tackles him over the side of the building. Gordon's son is saved, butMurdock and Dark Claw fall to the ground below resulting inMurdock's death.[8] Knowing that the citizens of Gotham will lose hope and all morale if Murdock's rampage becomes public news, Dark Claw convinces Gordon to hold him responsible for the murders. Images are shown of Gordon delivering the eulogy at Murdock's funeral and smashing the Claw-Signal. Police swarm the building, and Dark Claw flees as Gordon and his son watch.
