There's something going on in the courtyard in front of Wayne Tower, today. It's not a bomb threat, or a robbery, or a biological attack. It is, in fact, a festival, with live music and food kiosks and games. The whole thing is a joint effort by Wayne and Veidt Enterprises, with all proceeds going toward paying the medical bills and funeral

And since the police force was hit hard by the mold outbreak, Jim was encouraged to attend the festival. If by 'encouraged' you mean told that someone high up in the department should be there and as Jim didn't get sick he had no reason not to be there.
These things were easier with Barbara and the kids.

But he doesn't look so much angry as confused... And a little blinded.
"You better be with a newspaper..." Or what? You can't arrest people for taking pictures in a public place, Jim.

He still looks a little worse for wear, one would have to assume from his bout with pizza-borne-death-mold and the ensuing fucking week babysitting himself and Spider through it, until he got fed up and dragged them both to a doctor -- but hey, it's over with and he isn't coughing up blood anymore, so that's good, right?

Jim puts on his best 'talking to rich socialites who really don't care about middle class cops' smile before answering.
"It all looks.. Very nice. All for a good cause and people look like they're enjoying themselves. This was very good of you, Mr. Wayne."

Of course she brought Molly, let her go play the games and wander the food kiosks on her own. But she's not stupid, she's keeping an eye out. Knows her godfather is around somewhere, keeping an eye out. There is not going to be a repeat of New Years Eve in the Drake family, thank you.
Keeping an eye out is, easily, disguised as people watching.

Dib is attempting to figure out how he managed to get this much powdered sugar on him from one funnel cake.
