After Lorna breaks up with him on the set of her new film, Walker claims he should kill her for treating him in such a way. Lorna is later murdered by an unknown attacker and Walker is considered a prime suspect. However, Walker witnesses the murder and recognises Basil Karlo as the killer. In order to keep it a secret, Karlo sneaks into Walker’s home estate and attacks him, leaving him for dead inside a closet.
Batman later finds Walker, but he dies before he can reveal who the killer really is.
