Dark Moon Rising

Mad Monk and Hugo Strange
Not a long time has passed his Batman made his grand entrance in Gotham. The mobsters who weren't convicted have gone underground, but The Batman prepares for the inevitable coda. Returning to the cave he fell into as a boy, Batman, plans and assembles his base of operations. He creates the Bat-Computer, and databases the criminals that he's encountered thus far.

Need to work out the details that bring Hugo from Monster Men to "Prey/Fear"
Alfred has insisted to Bruce that if he is to have a successful cover persona to distract from the possibility of his being Batman, he should enter the socialite world, and thus the gossip bubble. Bruce begrudgingly agrees but he is dismissive. When Hugo Strange hits the scene, a curious Bruce attends one of his university lectures (in connection to the Monster Men, which he has been researching to see who could possibly be behind it) There, Julie Madison, a Gotham heiress and law student, is sitting in on the class, and recognizes Bruce and asks him out. Though he is admittedly a little smitten, not having been in any relationships in the later stages of his travels, sees this as an opportunity to follow Alfred's advice, and throughout the story he'll grapple with deliberately doing things to put the couple in the public eye and actually caring about her and how she feels. After it fizzles out, he'll eventually seek out Vicki Vale as a replacement. Perhaps she'll act in a low budget horror film in Gotham's low-budget scene, featuring veteran actor Basil Karlo.
Hugo's activities awaken the Mad Monk, and perhaps Hugo and Batman have to bust out of this together.
Secretly, Alfred gets Bruce with Julie to try to bring him happiness
