Synopsis for "Batman & Son Part 1: Building a Better Batmobile"
An ex-cop dressed like the Batman shoots the Joker in the face, but not before he poisons Commissioner Gordon. When the real Batman shows up and throws Joker's bleeding body into a dumpster, it causes the rumors that it was he who shot Joker to spread on the street.
In the Batcave Alfred suggests that Batman needs to get back in touch with his Bruce Wayne self. He decides that a lull in "super-crime" may allow for just that, and while Robin leaves for a month in the mountains Bruce and Alfred fly to London to attend a charity fundraising event.
Also attending are Dr. Kirk Langstom and his wife Francine, the latter of which has been kidnapped and is being held hostage for the Were-Bat serum. The kidnappers, acting on behalf of Talia al Ghul, are also monitoring the fundraising party, and Damian is able to pick out his father by what he sees on video alone.
Notes
- The Zur En Arrh phrase can be seen spray painted repeatedly in the alley around the dumpster where Batman throws the Joker.
Trivia
- This issue marks Grant Morrison taking over the Batman series.
