Judgment on Gotham Part One, One Good Man
Dick Grayson (the Gotham Batman) is still troubled by a gunshot wound through his chest and out is back. The bruising around the wound is changing (into a bat-like shape). This causes memories of his treatment by Azrael and his Sword of Sin. Shortly afterwards, he goes to Devils Square where an Azrael-like figure "Crusader" is reigning fire upon the "sinners". He arrives with Cat Woman (Selina Kyle) and Red Robin (Tim Drake) and they all assault this figure. Batman and Red Robin set about Crusader while Catwoman helps save the life of a baby of a prostitute in a burning building. Just as Crusader is about to seriously harm Batman, Azrael appears and orders Crusader to stop.
Crusader and Azrael claim that the three "heroes" were summoned to face Judgement and gives them (and Gotham) 24 hours to find "one good man" or the whole city will burn. The three object, instead choosing to take them down at which Crusader activates some kind of flash grenade and he and Azrael disappear. Catwoman and Robin think that Batman should call in "the big guns", but Dick says they have 24 hours......
Meanwhile, Ra's Al Ghul has Hans Gerlicht, a Scientist of the Order of Purity bombarding a super, called "Fireball" with several terawatts of power priming him as a living bomb.
So, what is Ghul planning for Gotham and how are Azrael and Crusader involved. I guess we'll find out next issue.
As usual with Batman, I'm not quite sure where this one is going, but it will probably have some nice twists in it. Not a classic story by usual standards, but we'll see how it shapes up.
