Summary
Batman is dead. The Batcave is trashed. Gotham's protectors have all disappeared overnight. A dark gloom hangs over the city. There are eyes everyone can feel and no one can find.
Stephanie Brown's grand return to Gotham is met with an eerie silence and a disturbing lack of people telling her to go home. All she finds is a murderous brat dressed as Robin and an annoyingly theatrical crime boss that had her old job.
There's a Batman-shaped hole in Gotham, with only one gal left with the measurements to fill it. Who? That'd be a Spoiler.

Summary
Tim Drake lay dying in the sand, his quest unfinished and Pru dying nearby. But there was nothing he could do, he'd lost too much blood. Waking to a figure with silver hair leaning over him had to be a hallucination and he honestly expected to never wake up again. So where exactly was he and what did these people want with him?

When Dick announced he was looking at new places in New York, Damian froze, in that way that Dick had been learning meant he was feeling very deeply inside.
Change is hard. Letting go is harder, especially when you’re not quite sure you belong.

Summary
There's a strange group sitting at the main table. This wouldn't be a problem if a) Robin hadn't confirmed they were assassins for his grand-father, b) they were not heroes or even acquaintances of heroes and c) they were in space, on the Watchtower, the place no one knew existed.
The man tells him that they have proof Batman is still alive, and the other two share a look when he tells them — really barks out an order — that they have to bring him home. Once the silence settles, and they're proven correct, the feeling of unease in Clark's stomach doesn't abate. Not at all. Something is so terribly wrong and it's looking them straight in the face.

Summary
You can't go the distance
With too much resistance
I know you have doubts
But for God's sake, don't shut me outThis time you've got nothing to lose
You can take it, you can leave it, whatever you choose
I won't hold back anything
And I'll walk a way a fool or a king -

Summary
In which Tim takes up Dick’s offer and goes to therapy. Set during Red Robin 2009, beginning with issue #4.
Or, take this excerpt:
Tim felt like he was going crazy. Like a madman on the loose.
Only moments before, Tim had been standing and (albeit broodingly) watching Gotham’s skyline, questioning his life decisions.
And then Dick had showed up, telling Tim stuff like “I want to help”.
Like he would fall for that.

Summary
Tim could hear the sounds of his friends fighting somewhere beyond the dust. He could just about make out Cassie shouting orders and the doppler effect in the wake of Bart. He briefly wondered why they weren't communicating on comms, but upon pressing the little button on his own, he realised the lines must be down.
It crossed Tim's mind that he should probably help them, but his feet felt like Poison Ivy's plants had rooted him to the floor.
A voice became clear just beyond a pile of concrete and shattered glass.
"Rob! Over here!"
[After he's stabbed by the Widower, Tim's brain wanders into a fever nightmare where he sees Kon again.]

Summary
In the midst of an unparalleled heat wave Marinette and Adrien are enjoying the radical act of just being friends, while Ladybug and Chat Noir continue to fight Hawk Moth's machinations. Meanwhile, Dick Grayson has come to Paris trying to track down his brother, Tim, who is here following a baseless, desperate lead that Bruce Wayne may still be alive.
Paths cross at a fencing tournament fundraiser sponsored by the Wayne Foundation. What happens next quickly brings all heroes together against a danger the likes of which none have ever faced before.
