Bit of a let-down when compared to the previous subjects. The Green Dragon Tongs (no member's names are given, nor backgrounds) are pretty much generic Chinese gang#2. The most notable thing they do, aside from kidnapping and smuggling opium (because of course they deal in opium) is murder Mr. Wong. Wong only had appearance before this issue, but he was shown as an ally of Batman in Gotham's Chinatown. Pity they killed the character off, as there could have been some story potential.
Back to the gang. They have no motivation other than being criminals and even the fight scenes are pretty basic. Truly a forgotten footnote.
