Sadly, when Batman introduced Silver to his fellow crime-fighter, Baphomet, she was brutally murdered. Bruce even proposed, to which Silver accepted. Silver decided to accept Bruce's life as Batman, and the two reconciled. Upset that Bruce wouldn't visit her in the hospital, Silver left town again before her ultimate return in Batman: The Widening Gyre #2, by Kevin Smith and Walt Flanagan. Silver was injured by the mercenaries' leader, after discovering their plot to attack Gotham. In Legends of the Dark Knight #132, by Archie Goodwin and Marshall Rogers, Silver briefly returned to Gotham to organize a mercenaries' convention. Offended that Bruce would casually 'loan' her to another man, Silver left Gotham once more. Bruce reasoned that the senator needed Silver more than he did. After Batman saved them both, he wanted Silver to stay with Gregory while he recovered. Gregory went after Silver, losing his right arm and leg in the process. The Clown Prince of Crime was also running for governor, kidnapping Silver to get Gregory to drop out of the race. Before she could, The Joker kidnapped Silver. After an episode with The Scarecrow's fear gas, Silver realized her feelings for Bruce once more, almost leaving him to be with Batman.

senator Evan Gregory, who was running for governor. In Batman: Dark Detective #1, by Englehart and Rogers, Silver returned to Gotham, engaged to U.S. Silver couldn't bear the thought of losing Bruce to his dark crusade. Revealing to Bruce that she knew his secret, Silver broke up with The Caped Crusader. Once there, Silver was horrified to witness one of Batman's nightmarish battles with The Joker. Silver left town briefly to collect her thoughts, before returning to Gotham. This battle led Silver to conclude that Bruce was Batman. In Detective Comics #474, by Englehart and Marshall Rogers, Silver saw Batman fight Deadshot up close.

Of course, like most of Batman's romances, this was not meant to last. When Silver was recovering in the hospital from Strange's monster attack, Bruce came to visit her regularly, and the two grew closer than ever. If not for Silver, Bruce Wayne might not have been saved. The original Robin saved Silver from Strange's monster men and found Bruce in captivity. Realizing that something was wrong, Silver contacted Dick Grayson. Silver's intelligence paid off when Hugo Strange was impersonating Bruce. Silver was also quite clever, growing suspicious of Bruce's mysterious disappearances ever since their first meeting.
