== Publication Info ==
After having his spine shattered by Bane, Batman finally wakes up from his long coma, and now faces an uphill battle to regain his strength and abilities. During this time, Nightwing has been working overtime to keep Gotham safe, and the now paraplegic Barbara Gordon has taken on the hacker alias Oracle. Batman recruits Jean-Paul Valley, a genetically engineered soldier who previously worked for Bane, to fill in for him, giving him live instruction from the Batcave. Working together, they meet Tim Drake, an ambitious young man who has already deduced Batman's identity, as well as Cassandra Cain, a mute girl raised from childhood to be an assasain. Bruce Wayne faces a difficult question, after the psychological and psychical trauma he has experienced in the past few years, will he ever don the mantle again?
Meanwhile, Gotham's criminal underworld now has a dark knight of their own, who goes by the name of Killer Moth. Basil Karlo, a failed and bitter B-list movie actor, becomes the shape-shifting and monstrous Clayface. With all new threats, The Caped Crusader will wither die off, or rise again.
