Gotham City's worst criminals--Joker, Riddler, Ra's al Ghul, Clayface and others--have emerged to throw Batman's life into utter chaos. However, these villains are part of a much more elaborate, sinister scheme to destroy the Dark Knight once and for all, one headed by a mastermind much closer to Bruce Wayne than any foe before...

Pushed past his breaking point, Batman will need to use more than the world's greatest detective skills to unravel the mystery behind this murderous plot before those closest to the Detective suffer the consequences.
