That issue's main story had ended on Batman, having fallen into Gotham's harbor after interfering in the League of Assassins' assassination attempt against a visiting delegation of the royal Orghams of Svatrstal, being pulled out by Jim Gordon and his friend.
Batman awoke in the private detective agency that Jim shared with Harvey Bullock now, unmasked and bandaged up: " Your face is unhurt.. I bandaged it in the dark.. [b]ecause I.. uh.. I didn't want to know. "
He gathered himself together.

Later, Batman was Bruce Wayne, taking in renovation work being done on the destroyed Arkham Asylum.
It was work following from them having asserted their rights to the Asylum (work that led into the frame of 2022's Detective Comics Annual).

Arzen, prince of Svatrstal, went on.

Bruce turned and left.

" .. before one can begin to tear it down. "
Later, Bruce Wayne was Batman, investigating an old power station.
" Tell me why we're here again, Jim? "

" .. this place is cold. "
Down deeper in the cold, the man who'd savaged Ubu confronted the man responsible for the chill.
" I don't know who you are, or what you want. I just want to be left alone. " said the latter to the former.

Batman swooped down.
Gael Tenclaw, werewolf agent of the Orghams - interrupted in doing to Victor Fries what he'd done to Harvey Dent in issue #1063 - met him.

Batman swiveled towards the beeping: " Freeze, no! "

"Well, I didn't want to know."
"For fuck's sake, Jim, I'm Bruce Wayne. You know that."
"Obviously! I just wanted plausible deniability!"
"Fine, I'll ask J'onn to erase your memory. Now get me some damn iodine."
