When Mitchell is murdered, Falcone attends his funeral with his right-hand man Oswald Cobb. Thereupon he meets Bruce Wayne, unaware that the latter is secretly the vigilante known as "Batman".
Soon enough, Bruce learns about the reporter's murder; he later visits Falcone in his nightclub - the Iceberg Lounge - to find out whether his father was involved. Falcone says that Thomas came to him for help, but neither confirms nor denies that he had the reporter killed or that Thomas asked him to do so for him. Soon afterwards, Bruce - as Batman - investigates Falcone with help from GCPD Lieutenant James Gordon and discovers that Falcone was the rat who informed on Maroni to the police.
When Batman meets Selina, she tells him that Falcone is her father who was never there for her following her mother's death. Selina then reveals that Falcone had murdered both her mother as well as her girlfriend Annika Kosolov, the latter of whom he killed because she had discovered that Falcone was the informant. Selina, wanting to avenge both her mother and girlfriend, goes to the Iceberg Lounge to kill him. She comes face-to-face with Falcone and reveals her identity to him before attempting to shoot him. However, Falcone evades Selina and overpowers her. He then begins choking her, gloating that her mother had died the same way. Fortunately, Batman arrives just in time to save her and brutally subdue Falcone. It is then Selina attempts to execute her father until Batman convinces her not to throw her life away by becoming just like him; Selina eventually relents and thereupon Falcone gets arrested by Gordon, one of the few police officers in Gotham who is not in the crime lord's pocket.
As he gets apprehended, Falcone gloats to Batman that he will never reveals his secrets. Cobb interrupts by cursing Falcone as "a rat" and obliquely threatening to have him killed in jail and take over his empire. Falcone laughs off the threat, dismissing Cobb as "a gimp in a suit" who will never run Gotham. Enraged, Cobb pulls a gun on Falcone and attempts to shoot him; a gunshot sounds and Falcone slumps to the ground, having indeed been shot despite Penguin saying that he didn't pull the trigger. Falcone then dies in front of Batman, who along with the police learn that it was actually the Riddler who had just killed Falcone with a sniper rifle from across the street. As Batman and Gordon lead the police to apprehend the Riddler to put an end to his killings, Selina walks away after taking a final distasteful look of her late father's dead body.
