## Plot

On Halloween night, Alfred Pennyworth tells Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson, Tim Drake, and Damian Wayne a spooky story.

Bruce's parents were shot down when he was eight years old. Alfred tells the boy that he now owns him and that Bruce will spend the rest of his life cleaning and cooking for the man. Bruce eventually got away and traveled the world to become Batman. In the present, Bruce is in a relationship with Gotham socialite Samantha Vanaver. He tries to have sex with her, but Damian cockblocks him. Meanwhile, Nightwing and Damian, the new Robin, battle the Scarecrow. They are watched by a mysterious figure.

Samantha is revealed to have been seducing Bruce for her true lover Talon, the person who was watching the heroes, as they wish to destroy Batman and his legacy. Talon eventually introduces himself to Robin and the two begin to form a friendship. Together, they begin going after criminals, with the mentor urging the boy to kill his enemies. Bruce Wayne learns that the organization known as the Court of Owls are the ones going after Damian, and he hunts them down. Alfred reveals that he was the one who started the Court, but left when it went from a sex club to a group of the elite trying to rule the city.

The leader of the Court of Owls is revealed to be Samantha, who drugs Batman with gas taken from the Scarecrow. After a series of nightmare sequences, Nightwing manages to bring Bruce back to consciousness. Meanwhile, Talon brings Robin to the Court, which reveals the connection between Bruce Wayne and Batman. Samantha orders Talon to kill Robin, but he turns on the Court and kills them all, including his lover.

Talon awakens the Owls' army of undead soldiers and attacks Wayne Manor. However, Batman and Nightwing learn that the enemies are incapable of dying, allowing them to violently kill people for once in their lives. Talon arrives and reveals that he is Bruce's brother, Thomas Wayne Jr., who was sent away by Alfred because he didn't want "two stupid boys". The brothers clash while Alfred lowers the Batcave temperature to subzero, freezing the Talon's soldiers. In the end, Robin arrives and Thomas commits suicide on his dagger, knowing that his death will haunt Damian. However, Bruce and his son simply laugh it off and bond over the experience.

In a post-credits scene, the new vigilante Batwoman takes out Tusk and a group of other villains, intent on starting her own vigilante crusade in Gotham City.
