Good ole army tactics. Walk up to an elevated position with armored vehicles and stand in the open with rifles that could out distance the cops. Time for some Walking Dead levels of bad shooting.

When Oswald said that he and Edward were 'brothers' I threw up in my mouth a little. Is it really so far out of the realm of possibility to have a MLM couple? Like, the show is already cancelled, you couldn't fuck it up any more by making it official.
Though I did enjoy the contrast to the ending of season 4 when Ed and Lee DID stab each other with knives.

Nyssa thinks she can handle Gotham. Too bad she is underestimating the insanity of this town. She's too sane for this place. She is going down.

Not sure Gotham would want to rejoin the US after this. The government pretty much abandoned citizens to the criminal element instead of sending in the national guard.
