The East End was once the scuzziest place in Gotham City but Batman cleaned it up just before Damian's birth. Eight years later, on January 1st, Bat-Dad was surprised Little Batman was leaving home because it was Tuesday and Alfred Pennyworth made his mincemeat pies on Tuesdays. Little Batman told it to get him directions to the worst place in Gotham City. Bat-Dad asked if he was thinking of the Bratwurst Palace. They went to the East End to look for suspicious characters who would know about Bruce Wayne's kidnapping. Bat-Dad noted it only saw a bunch of fancy ice cream parlors and four-star pet hotels. Little Batman couldn't believe Batman cleaned the whole place up himself. People started noticing Little Batman. Bat-Dad believed it was a little too much attention. Three hoods tried to get his attention. Bat-Dad suggested restraint but Little Batman fought them. Little Batman quipped all he saw was three petty criminals and one really expensive hospital bill. One of the hoods failed to get the joke.
Little Batman jumped up to the fire escape. They were no match for him. The dumb one tried to hit him with a crowbar but hit his own man. Once they were all tied up, he finally got the joke. Penguin approached Little Batman. He was shocked to see him out of prison. Penguin told him he had a lot to learn about Gotham and bragged he had the jury out of his hands acting enfeebled. Penguin remembered what he was supposed to do and doused him with a green vial of Fear Toxin. He briefly experienced his fear, being abandoned by his father. Little Batman sneezed and was back to normal. Bat-Dad noted his vitals were off the charts. Little Batman realized he had a target on his back and had to become an inconspicuous eight-year-old boy to investigate his father's kidnapping.
