Jerome eventually captures Jeremiah and promises to "drive him mad". Following Jerome's death, Jeremiah is exposed to the Scarecrow's insanity-inducing gas at Jerome's final request, turning his skin white, dyeing his hair dark green, and staining his lips red. After gaining the loyalty of Jerome's followers at his late brother's grave, Jeremiah reveals himself to Bruce as the mastermind behind these events and proclaims victory over his deceased twin. Revealing his plan to use the high-energy generators as explosives, Jeremiah declares Bruce as his "very best friend" and unsuccessfully attempts to drive him insane in "one bad day" with Scarecrow's gas. Jeremiah is then approached by the immortal Ra's al Ghul, who proposes an alliance to "help" Bruce fulfill his destiny as "Gotham's Dark Knight". Jeremiah breaks into Wayne Manor and shoots Bruce's love-interest, Selina Kyle, and later abducts him. Although Ra's is killed, he and Jeremiah's plan to blow up Gotham's bridges with the generators and render the city a "No Man's Land" succeeds, and an ecstatic Jeremiah manages to vanish in the ensuing chaos.
After Gotham is cut-off from the rest of the world, Jeremiah forms his own fanatic cult with the help of his assistant Ecco, and occupies a large portion of the city designated as the "Dark Zone". He forces his men to dig a series of tunnels as a means of escape should the government decide to nuke the city. Jeremiah works with the Mad Hatter to produce a toxic gas at the abandoned Ace Chemicals plant, which he plans to release into Gotham's skies so that the government will no longer be able to send supplies into the city. Jeremiah subsequently has a surgeon perform plastic surgery on two kidnapped civilians to make them resemble Thomas and Martha Wayne, Bruce's deceased parents, in an attempt to re-enact the night of the Waynes' deaths so that he will become the most important person in Bruce's life; Jeremiah later captures James Gordon and Lee Thompkins and decides to use them instead due to their personal connection to Bruce. With Selina's help, Bruce thwarts Jeremiah's scheme and pursues him while Gordon drives the armed canisters of toxic gas into the river. Jeremiah falls into a vat of green liquid during his confrontation with Bruce at Ace Chemicals, after which his body is salvaged and placed in a hospital. Bruce tells to Selina that Jeremiah currently registers no brain activity in his comatose state.
Ten years later, a seemingly brain-dead Jeremiah is incarcerated in Arkham Asylum until it is revealed that he feigned being in a vegetative state to wait for Bruce's eventual return to Gotham. Jeremiah frames Harvey Bullock for murder, manipulates Oswald Cobblepot and Edward Nygma into taking the initial blame for his scheme, and has Ecco break him out of Arkham. After his escape, Jeremiah kidnaps James Gordon and Barbara Kean's daughter, but Ecco is stabbed in the confrontation. Jeremiah kills Ecco and takes Barbara Lee Gordon to Ace Chemicals, where he reveals to Gordon that he lost most of his memories after his fall into the green solutions over a decade ago. After telling Gordon to address him as "J", Jeremiah prepares to drop Barbara into the same vat only for Bruce to appear as Batman. Overjoyed by Bruce's arrival, Jeremiah simply laughs maniacally even when being slashed with batarangs but falls unconscious as one slashes his head.

After Gotham becomes No Man's Land, Ecco continues to work as Jeremiah's accomplice and henchwoman, breaking into GCPD and vandalizing their map with Jeremiah's symbol. In addition, she helps Jeremiah to establish the Church of Jeremiah Valeska as a way to gain followers.
Ten years later, Ecco poses as a nurse at Arkham Asylum. When Gordon is onto Jeremiah orchestrating the frame-up of Harvey Bullock, Ecco kills the two inmates bothering Jeremiah and tells him that the jig is up. Both of them head to the Sirens where they ambush Barbara Kean. Ecco is stabbed by Barbara and is critically injured. Jeremiah sadly muses on how Ecco is no longer his Ecco, and there'll be no one like her. Ecco smiles at this sentiment, before Jeremiah shoots and kills her, simply stating, "there'll be plenty more fish in the sea." Ecco is a precursor to and is inspired by Harley Quinn.

She provides him with a special mask as she plans to have Hugo Strange fix him up.
After Hugo Strange was done with the experiment that turned Eduardo into Bane and led in the capture of Jim Gordon, Bruce Wayne, and General Wade, Nyssa had Bane beat up Gordon in order to get Bruce to say the name of a certain person she knows. When he finally knows what Walker is talking about and quotes Ra's al Ghul, Walker introduces herself as his daughter Nyssa. While Gordon is taken away for Hugo Strange to work on, Nyssa states that she is going to take advantage of Special Order 386 (an order to reduce a city to rubble if it is irretrievably lost) to make Bruce suffer.

He is later freed by Nyssa al Ghul under the alias of Theresa Walker. Eduardo is in league with Theresa in her goals. When confronting Gordon at the ruins of Haven, Eduardo fought Gordon until he was impaled onto a pipe. Theresa found him and provided him with a special mask as she plans to have Hugo Strange fix him up.
After Hugo Strange was done working on him, Eduardo became Bane and led the mission to capture Jim Gordon, Bruce Wayne, and General Wade. Bane then tortured Gordon to the point when Bruce learned of Theresa's connection with Ra's al Ghul as she states that she is his daughter Nyssa. After figuring out Barbara Kean's hand in her father's death, Nyssa sends Bane to bring her Barbara. Bane raided the hospital and chased after Barbara and Lee Thompkins. He did catch up to Barbara and Lee after Barbara gave birth in the ambulance lot. Alfred and Selina bought the two of them time to get away. While Bane knocked Selina to the ground, he beat up Alfred and threw him back first into a nearby pole before getting away.
As Special Order 386 is activated, Bane led the Delta Force and the army into leveling Gotham. He briefly fought Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle following Wayne Enterprise's detonation. Bruce was able to use a beacon on Bane that caused him to be attacked by bats. As Bane and Angel lead their forces into confronting Gordon, Bullock, Bruce, Selina, Penguin, Riddler, and Lee, Barbara arrived with the refugees as Gordon asks the army if they are with Gotham or against Gotham. The army turned against Bane as he, Angel, and those on his side are arrested. It was mentioned that Bane has been remanded to a prison.
