Paul Dini returns to STREETS OF GOTHAM as Batman and Robin uncover a sinister plot involving dozens of Gotham City’s young runaways. Is Arkham Asylum escapee Humpty Dumpty at the center of the scheme – or is he just the tip of an even more dangerous iceberg? Guest-starring Abuse and Zsasz!
And in the Manhunter co-feature, now that Kate has finally tracked down Two-Face, she's ready to confront him for the hit he ordered on Gotham’s former D.A. But their confrontation is not going to go the way she planned!

Hey a Humpty Dumpty story, cool. :)

It’s Bat vs. Bat in “Core Requirements” part 1! As Gotham City burns, the new Batgirl comes face-to-face with Batman and Robin, who are anything but happy about her running around with a bat-symbol on her costume. Batman confronts Oracle as Damian confronts Stephanie in the ultimate Bat-family feud.

Steph versus Damian? ...Woo Steph! Smack him around (even though it technically wouldn't make sense, what with his assassin training and such)! Maybe the fire on the cover is her blowing him up, as that's what she seems to be making a habit of doing so far in her series. :)

I'm guessing the big spoilery twist to the 'Streets of Gotham' story is that Humpty Dumpty WON'T be at the center of the scheme. From what I've read about him, he's a reasonably harmless character, as lunatics go - his big deal is he likes taking things apart and putting them back together again. He is not a plotter or a schemer - he takes things apart and puts them back together again. He's a docile little guy. I think 'a sinister plot involving dozens of Gotham City's young runaways' is a bit beyond his capabilities.
Also, who the hell is 'Abuse', and what's the deal with the current trend of villain names? 'Abuse'. 'Genocide'. 'Destruction'. Next thing you know, they'll have used up all the big impressive-sounding ones, and be down to 'Hack', 'Stab' 'Maim' and 'Eviscerate'.
