An MI6 agent quietly trails Bruce Wayne, building a file on the nocturnal man who shoulders Gotham's defense alone. As Black Mask tightens his grip, a Batman with no Bat-Family starts paying the cost.

Batman was born out of violence – a horrible tragedy that shaped the trajectory of his future. But when a vigilant MI6 agent starts tracking the lonely life of Bruce Wayne, he discovers the interconnectivity between a hero’s shell life and the many layers of the Black Mask Gang. It’s Batman versus Alfred Pennyworth!
