Ones that had already been captured and were no longer an active threat.

Or Beth's Legion cleans it up really quick and gets great PR for responding to the break-out.

Usually those who try to create an increase in crime are criminals.
> But she also anticipates that most of the escapees will be captured by the police, independent crimefighters, or the New Lair Legion pretty quickly. It's more like sneaking into a dam and opening one of the gates than blowing it up. If it does degenerate into total anarchy she'd be surprised.

Regardless of how it turns out, if Hatman was around he'd arrest her and turn her into the authorities.
