Batman visited him and reminded him that it was his city. Joker plotted to get back into the spotlight. He destroyed one Luthor camp each night for the next eight nights until Bane was sent to stop him. Batman confronted Bane and told him to leave town. Wayne Enterprises was on top of it when the NML was to be lifted. The federal government gave Gotham until New Year's Day to make a difference. If one was made, the NML would be lifted. Joker made his move on Pettit's team. With the former cop's help, he killed everyone in the camp. Only the Huntress stood in his way. She took three bullets from him before Nightwing rescued her and got her to Dr. Thompkins' clinic. Joker kidnapped infants all over NML and planted bombs in dolls he'd stolen from a LexCorp Christmas gala. He gathered all the real babies at GCPD Headquarters where Lt. Essen-Gordon tried to stop him. Joker shot her dead. Commissioner Gordon lost control and shot the Joker after he'd surrendered. Joker thought it was funny that Gordon would shoot him in the knee - he might be unable to walk afterwards - just like Gordon's daughter, Barbara. Lucious Fox, Wayne Enterprises CEO, and Batman took down Luthor and his land stealing scheme. Batman and Gordon both spent New Years at grave sites of loved ones.
