The Black Glove conspiracy launches its final assault on Bruce Wayne's mind. Morrison tears down Batman's psychological barriers, trapping him in fabricated realities and synthetic horrors. His enemies prepare for what they expect will be his ultimate downfall as false memories and mental torture push him toward complete breakdown. Dick Grayson inherits the Batman mantle when Bruce can no longer wear it. The former sidekick now patrols Gotham with Damian Wayne, Bruce's son who combines deadly skills with supreme arrogance. Dick attempts to honor Batman's legacy while controlling a Robin who prefers killing to capturing criminals. This mismatched partnership confronts vibrant villains who challenge their unusual dynamic. Dick's compassionate methods conflict with Damian's ruthless tactics as Gotham citizens debate whether this new Batman measures up to his predecessor. The two heroes forge their relationship through battles and growing trust. Their partnership demonstrates that Batman's mission transcends any single person, even when death threatens to end the Dark Knight forever.
