Synopsis for ”Box of Blood”
Vincent Morelli, recently put away by James Gordon, puts out a contract on the Commissioner’s head, which is taken by Headhunter. Getting wind of this, and tired of waiting, Gordon heads out alone to try to find the assassin, and Sarah is reluctantly forced to call Batman in to help. She is grateful for the assistance the vigilante gives her husband in defeating the assassin, but still wishes he didn’t exist.
