Terry took that in relative stride.
(Kyle's ability with magic is a part of this miniseries' plot.
It's another element of contrast to the preceding one, Neo-Year - that took place entirely in futuristic Gotham and had an entirely cybernetic antagonist, while this one largely takes place in the remnants of older Gotham and has antagonists more organic.)
(The idea's that Croc's " reptilian monster-man " genetic condition just progressed over time.)
Aboveground, Terry's ally Beam Boonma was dealing with Donovan Lumos, who'd inflicted himself on Gotham in Neo-Year and was again making his mark.
He used the earth-shaking disturbance caused by Croc's rampage below his feet to reveal his solution for the damage similar recent events - tie-able to the disappearances of children Terry was investigating - had done to Gotham apartments.
Terry's falling flare illuminated another legacy of Gotham.
(As things to leave Killer Croc in the depths to guard against go, " the resurgence of the Court of Owls " is fair enough.
