History
Stan Kitch was a Lieutenant of the Gotham City Police Department. Early in his career, he earned the trust of Commissioner Gordon, who allowed Kitch to assist on investigations alongside Batman.
While on patrol a certain night, Kitch came across a desperate Rafe Kellogg, a notorious loan shark, and was forced to step between the crook and a rampaging tulpa chasing the man. Although Kitch tried to save Rafe and himself, in the end it was up to Batman and the Demon to stop the Mahakala. Afterwards, Kitch booked Rafe for all his past crimes.
Some time after the encounter with the tulpa, Kitch was faced with another taste of the supernatural. Responding to what appeared to be a crank call from an elderly Miss Harper regarding "alien lights", Kitch investigated the apartment above hers to find Glenda Mark and Randu Singh alone in a place that wasn't theirs at 2 am. Kitch took them in for questioning, inquiring where Jason Blood was. Unable to tell Kitch he was in Hell, the pair answered suspiciously. Kitch left the room so they could get their stories straight but surreptitiously kept recording, unveiling an insane story about demons and magic. Though they sounded like they belonged in Arkham, Kitch listened to them explain in detail, finally asking if anyone could collaborate such an absurd alibi. Randu suggested one reliable source, so Kitch spoke to Commissioner Gordon, asking if he could summon Batman. Amazingly, Batman confirmed Blood's duel nature, but despite Gordon dropping the charges, District Attorney Jaynes insisted on prosecuting.
