Notes:
Synopsis: Batman is a murderer. A maniac. Or so it seems to everyone witnessing his slaughter of a restaurant full of customers. Batman himself has no memory of the event. Could it be true? Could his obsession have finally given way to madness?
Batman investigates this mystery uncovering secrets and lies and how the destiny of one man might change the world. He'll meet ghosts both bad and good -- the latter being Deadman, his friend and ally in many past tales. Deadman must help Batman again as their foes line up to include not just evil millionaires and mages -- men who walk the earth -- but also a supernatural emissary of Satan himself, hungering for souls. A tale of mystery and the supernatural...and death and glory.
