"Dead Silent"
Note: THIS ISSUE CONTAINS NO DIALOGUE
  • Bruce Wayne haunts an otherwise empty Wayne Manor. Batman has been accused in the killing of The Riddler. The GCPD, thanks to a directive by the newly elected Mayor Dent, have named him Most Wanted. But Bruce knows the truth. The mansion is quiet except for the television where Vicki Vale reports on the latest exploits of Gotham's new violent vigilante, Joe Chill. The man truly responsible for The Riddler's demise and someone Bruce suspects knows his secret identity. A man who has somehow returned to the city and is leading a bloody revolt against the criminal element, playing judge, jury and executioner. Where does justice stop and murder begin? Breaking news: Chill is leading a mob of angry and armed Gothamites towards Arkham Asylum, where the inmates have taken over.
  • GCPD are on the scene, battling for control of the Asylum, unaware of Chill's parade headed their way. The inmates have seized all the facility's weapons and are holding on to their turf for now. Shots have been exchanged and at least two officers have been rushed to the hospital. But this thing is about to erupt. A cold November wind howls towards the patrol cars, blowing with it cards...floating by....all Jokers.
  • Bruce has to cutoff Joe Chill before the situation gets worse, and he must do so unmasked. As he leaves Wayne Manor, he notices Selina Kyle scurrying away and a note left on his doorstep.
    "Mister Wayne,
    We have Pennyworth. See you soon.
    -Interested Parties"
  • Bruce rushes to Arkham in his cherry red Ferrari, followed by another who has made his way back to Gotham after reading the reports of a vengeful Batman and a new brand of justice, ready to make his own impact. *CRASH* As the smoke clears and the twisted red metal is pushed away, a foggy and bloodied Bruce catches a glimpse of....Hush!
  • THE SILENT ISSUE. All the action told in sequential Art. No dialogue. As only the legendary talents of Brubaker and Bolland can provide.

"Congregation"
As the shock of the situation starts to wind down, Kate and Tatsu (Katana) are brought in to meet the rest of the team: Halo and Red Devil, as close friends as ever, Grace Choi, ever the gruff and moody one, and...that space in the corner that would be Sebastian if he wasn't busy sneaking out. Naturally, it’s up to them to get him back before his idiocy has everyone in the DEO in trouble (again). What he’s up to, however, may be more than just a simple teenage rebellion; Sebastian has been following traces of dark magic and bad omens throughout Gotham on his nights out, and the Religion of Crime may be at the center of it all. Meanwhile, having escaped her sister, Alice is now left to return to her plans as she robs the Gotham Museum of a mysterious red jewel. Is she plotting with the Religion of Crime, or might something much darker be in play?

"Shadow of the Bat" (Part 6 of 12)
  • The Joker just stands there, grinning, covered in DK's blood. Nightwing and Robin jump into action, not hearing Batman's warning. Tripping a mine hidden in the floor, Nightwing & Robin are caught in an explosion...one that will cost Nightwing a leg. Robin takes shrapnel to the shoulder. Batman, anger burning in his eyes, dives for Joker, just as the building begins to crumble & burn from the explosion.
  • Robin, wounded, sees Nightwing laying motionless on the floor. As Batman beats on the Joker, Robin removes his belt & cape, making a tourniquet for Nightwing's leg. The building continues to collapse as Robin carries his friend outside to safety. With a last glance over his shoulder, he can just barely see the Dark Knight standing over the still laughing Joker...and then the building falls.
  • The warehouse remains, located on the waterfront, fell into the ocean. The GCPD trolled the water with nets for 3 days & 3 nights, but the bodies of Batman & Joker were never recovered.
  • Meanwhile, in the present, Tim has finished telling the story to Clark. Dick shifts his weight uncomfortably, leaning on his prosthetic. They eye Clark suspiciously, wondering what he'll say. His response: "Teach me to do it like Him."
