I should patch this one up before too many questions are asked, because I actually do have a method to this madness (the TL;DR is at the bottom of the post):
Bruce Wayne was assuming the identity of Batman for 10 years, watching over Gotham and gradually bringing the crime rate of the city down to a record low. With many of his Rogue’s Gallery spending their days in Blackgate with life sentences, small underground rings that have been maintained by the likes of Harley Quinn have been keeping the criminal sub-world alive during the midnight hours. Harley Quinn, who was building her own syndicate with the likes of Poison Ivy, a boy off the street who was exposed to photosynthetic chemicals at birth, giving him is symboitic bond with plant life, moved quickly to recruit stray criminals like Phillis Patencia, codenamed Catwoman. Phillis often crossed paths with Pam Isley while Harley Quinn was creating this new criminal underworld, with Catwoman and Poison Ivy being common suspects in large museum heists and standard bank robberies.
