Batman: Detective #2 discussion

[HsssH]

Key things that happened:

- Batman releases the guy that he captured so that he'd lead them to the villains. It leads to Paris, but the bugged guy gets killed and they move to another location.
- Batman meets Ducard on his way to Paris. He is working on his case separately and offers a team up. I don't know much about Ducard, but he claims that Batman is one of the two best students he had. Who is the other one?
- Ducard is waiting for Batman in his hotel, but villains get to him first.
- Fight breaks out and moments before Batman arrives Ducard is shot. I think implication is that he is not dead and villains intend to run away, while Batman is saving Ducard's life.
- In the background another plot is being developed concerning Baryl and Amina with Batman asking many questions related to Amina. I suspect that she might be Baryl's daughter? And father maybe is Dark Ranger from Batman Inc.? Since from what I remember they kinda got together in Morrison's second volume.

Ducard had a son named Morgan who became a villian called Nobody. So he could be it but I don't remember if Morgan and Ducard had a close relationship.

So awesome to see him again!

Since this group's goal is to do away with everyone Batman has saved, and Batman has saved the entire world multiple times both solo and as a team effort, does it follow that they ultimately want to destroy the entire world and kill everyone in it, including themselves? If not, why not?

I'm probably wrong but when I read this issue, I thought Ducard was foreshadowing that the leader of this group of villains is the second student.

Just a theory of mine.

It's just a theory of mine. Your theory is more likely.

Probably universe/Earth saving things didn't happen in this continuity.

Where has this been stated to be an Elseworlds? And even if it is, this very issue mentioned Batman saving the whole of London, so that's at least one major city they would have to destroy in order to achieve their stated goal.
