History[]
Dark Family Secrets[]
In 2001, during Thomas Wayne's mayoral election run, a reporter for the outlet named Edward Elliot discovered numerous things covered up by the Arkham Family, such as Martha's mother having brutally killed her own husband before committing suicide, and that Martha herself had spent time in Gotham Asylum and Arkham State Hospital due to mental illness. After Elliot planned to reveal it to the world, Wayne, not caring about his political career and only caring about how it would affect his wife and their son Bruce, tried to force Elliot into a hush-money agreement in order to prevent him from running the story, but Elliot refused.
Afterwards, Thomas turned to mobster Carmine Falcone and asked him to put the "fear of god" into Eliot to prevent him from running the story. When Elliot refused, Falcone had Eliot murdered. It was believed that Eliot was on the payroll of notorious drug kingpin Salvatore Maroni and was ordered by Maroni to sabotage Thomas' mayoral campaign.
Maroni Sting Operation[]
The Gotham Gazette reported Don Mitchell, Jr. setting up a sting operation to catch Salvatore Maroni and his gang for dealing drugs in Gotham. Mitchell's sting was successful and Maroni and his gang were arrested, to which Mitchell received credit for.[2]
