Penguin mocks the GCPD and offers the policemen a spot on his payroll . Gordon decides to seek Falcone 's help to defeat Penguin . Meanwhile , Selina and Tabitha meet with a presumably demised Barbara , who asks them to join her arms business , onto which Penguin later forces a license . After being convinced of Barbara 's sincerity , Tabitha and Selina decide to join . Ivy robs a potion store and drinks a combination of them , turning feral . After Bruce almost gets killed during his vigilantism , Fox , who seems to be aware of his activities , provides him with a `` Prototype Suit , '' making him faster and more resilient . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> 69 </Th> <Td> </Td> <Td> `` They Who Hide Behind Masks '' </Td> <Td> Mark Tonderai </Td> <Td> Steven Lilien & Bryan Wynbrandt </Td> <Td> October 5 , 2017 ( 2017 - 10 - 05 ) </Td> <Td> T40. 10003 </Td> <Td> 2.92 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td colspan="8"> In Arabia , AD 125 , a deceased warrior is taken from the battlefield and placed into a healing pool known as the Lazarus Pit ; once revived , the future Ra 's is tasked by his master to find his future heir and given a ceremonial knife .
