Synopsis for "Fruit of the Earth, Part One"

In the early days of No Man's Land, Clayface broke into Robinson Park and met with Poison Ivy. He offered Ivy a deal in which she would produce fruit with help of the refugee kids in the park and he would handle distribution to the rest of Gotham City. She told Clayface to seal the deal with a kiss hoping to kill him using her poisonous lips, but her plan backfired.

In the present, Oracle tells Batman she has a report that kids have been seen in Robinson Park. Batman and Robin go check it out, but first, Batman goes to see The Penguin and finds out that Clayface is running fruit distribution for Ivy.

In the meantime, the GCPD are having internal struggles and the department splits in two, with the more faithful people staying under the command of James Gordon and the renegades following Pettit's leadership.

Batman and Robin go to Robinson Park and they enter a secret lair built by Bruce during the time he was gone. The place is insurance for emergencies but as soon as they enter it, they find Ivy and her kids, encased in clay and begging for help.
