The run's not like the preceding, which traded on the reader's investment in Oliver Queen as a character with a publication history in a shared universe - it's telling a crime story with only nodding acknowledgements to the greater setting, one where Ollie's role isn't obviously stage-setting for a future story.

The issue marks the shift in scope with Green Arrow's first appearance in it being the foiling of a convenience store robbery.

Afterwards, the crime's introduced.

( It's through news-as-exposition. )

It's the story she told him in issue #1070, of this run's antagonists - the family Orgham.

She had the tale from her father, a character in it.

Her telling didn't start with Ra's al Ghul - it started with ' [t]he daughter of the sands [marrying] the firstborn son of the desert wind. '

( ' Orgham ' was the daughter's side. )

Issue #1069'd ended under Gotham - the Cheshire Cat (amnesiac Lian Harper living another life) had escaped those gathering up " strays " like herself, only to run into Solomon Grundy.

Issue #1070 opened on the Cat's captors, chasing her, running into the two. They turned their weapons on Grundy, and found them ineffective.

They had two other things going for them, though - numbers, and cumulative weight.

( They threw themselves on Grundy. )

In issue #1067, representatives of that family'd made their next move in Gotham City - the purchase of land rights in the city's Narrows, the burning of buildings thereon, and the taking of people therein.

Bruce Wayne, hearing about the last two as they were happening, drove off towards the Narrows.

Batman, above the fray of the Narrows, leapt into it. He grappled with the Orgham agents in issue #1068, fought an even enough fight until he was poisoned.

The situation was in the Orghams' favor, then - until Harvey Dent (forcibly pulled into the Orghams' orbit back in issue #1063) gave himself over to Two-Face.

( Two-Face made away with Batman. )
