When Alfred radios him to snap him out of his state, Batman goes to chase after him in pursuit by swinging through the city until his grapple gets cut (by an unknown assailant) and he plummets to the ground, surrounded by a group of criminals. With his skull fractured, Batman is soon attacked by them before he gets saved by Alfred.
#3:
-Later, Bruce and Alfred discuss the new criminal that goes by "Riddler", who has placed dangerous riddles, resulting in either bombs or death traps in every city which has a lack of evidence at every scene, and he maybe the unknown assailant that cut his grapple. Stopping by the Wayne Manor, a friend of Bruce, Harvey Dent, stops over to check in on Bruce injuries, whom also informs him about a old friend of his in town, Thomas Elliot, before he leaves after a chat. Alfred suggests that going to see Thomas would be a great idea (since he's a brain surgeon), so Bruce reluctantly agrees to go.

-That night, Bruce finally meets Elliot and has the skull fragments from his brain. Successfully done, Bruce offers to take him to a opera show in return when Thomas decides to arrange plans for it. After that situation, Lucius discovers a riddle outside of the company that leads him to the location of Killer Croc at a greenhouse. From there, Lucius further investigates, before he stumbles upon Killer Croc injecting himself with "mind controlled" substance. Lucius is attacked by him, as he dials 911 to send rescue at his location while he sustained serious injuries when a detonator sets off as Croc flees.

#10:
-The Riddler admits he knows his identity, which it unfazes Bruce because this secret is worthless to Nygma, but in exchange Batman warns him if he does, he'd get exposed as the culprit to GCPD who would send him to Blackgate instead of Arkham. Outwitted again by Bruce, an upset Nygma decide to taunt Bruce of his failure to find Harvey Dent's whereabouts with one final riddle, as this angers Batman to knock out Riddler with a single punch before he solves the final riddle to find the area to where Dent is held hostage; Bruce realize Hush is the mastermind working with Riddler as a cover.

Hush speaks and reveals he's been behind the scenes, leaving clues that's lead to this moment. Hush claims he knew Henri Ducard (in Paris) who trained him and revealed his secret identity, he also allied with The Riddler to blackmail a few other criminals to help achieve his goal including Selina Kyle whom also kidnapped Leslie (as she's tied up with Harvey in a rigged room), making Bruce surprised when Hush revealed he was to blame for solely creating him.
