He fell into this fire and over the side of the roof to his death. Wrath inadvertently started a fire when an incendiary device was knocked from his hands. Gordon's death was, or course, a ruse and Wrath and Batman fought to a near draw.

He defiles the gave site of Thomas and Martha Wayne to lure Bruce away from the mansion in order to beat Alfred. Wrath makes several failed attempts to kill Gordon before deducing Batman's alter-ego. Wrath finally sets his sights on Gordon himself, making a run-in with Batman inevitable. She hired Wrath to kill her father's killer and ended up falling in love with him. This is how he met Grayle Hudson, daughter of a mob-boss that had been killed by the police. Taking the name of Wrath he made a name for himself by killing cops for hire. He saw Gordon as a cold-blooded killer even though he had only shot in self-defense after first being shot.

He chose to style his costume after the Batman to get under the skin of the man he blamed for the death of his parents. While Wayne would study and train to become crime's greatest enemy, this boy would be bounced around the foster care system and embrace the darkness the Batman would oppose.
#WRATH AND SCORN THE BATMAN FULL#
When a rookie cop, James Gordon, shot and killed two would-be burglars as they attempted to rob a warehouse full of stereo equipment a series of events began that would create a dark, mirror-image of Batman. On June 26th, the exact same night Bruce Wayne became an orphan, another young boy watched his parents gunned down.

The youngest of King Triton’s daughters and the most defiant, Ariel longs to find out more about the world beyond the sea and, while visiting the surface, falls for the dashing Prince Eric. While mermaids are forbidden to interact with humans, Ariel must follow her heart. “The Little Mermaid” is the beloved story of Ariel, a beautiful and spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure. The book's almost cinematic aesthetic is everything we could ask for in a modern Bat-book - and it's a perfect match for Layman's increasingly dark narrative. Fabok's art is heavy on the gritty realism we've come to associate with Gotham, and it's complemented by Emilio Lopez's atmospheric colors. Layman lays out a complex, engaging narrative that shouldn't - and yet miraculously does - fit into a mere 32 pages. It seems that the only person on Batman's side is Commissioner Gordon (also as per usual). There's Wrath targeting Gotham's finest, Caldwell sticking his blood stained fingers in every pie, and even the city's wary denizens aren't sure they can trust him (as per usual). This issue pits Batman against enemies on all fronts. Caldwell is busy buying Gotham's love with well-publicized donations, but the money from his weapons manufacturing company isn't as clean as he'd like for you to believe.
Layman opens the story with a brief prologue - beautifully brought to life by artist Jason Fabok - to set the stage: there's a cop-killer on the loose in Gotham (we learn that it's Wrath and his sidekick Scorn), but he isn't the only person with designs on the city.
