As the mystery deepens, Jason Todd begins probing a troubling connection between the Wayne murders and Dick Grayson, setting a tense, uncertain course. Written by Eiichi Shimizu and Sheldon Drzka, with art by Tomohiro Shimoguchi and lettering by Wes Abbott, this 2024 DC release features a cover by Tomohiro Shimoguchi.
In "Chapter 7: The Two-Headed Beasts," Bruce Wayne grapples with a haunting vision that unsettles the foundation of his crusade. As Jason Todd presses Dick Grayson for truths buried in his history, the past begins to echo in ways neither man expected.
In "Chapter 8: Calamity," the discovery of five Moroni family members with grins carved into their faces sends shockwaves through Gotham, leading Batman’s Robin AI to flag Two-Face as a suspect. As the investigation deepens, Jason Todd uncovers unsettling connections between the Wayne murders and Dick Grayson, pulling the past into the present with dangerous implications.
In "Chapter 9: Running Bat," Batman tracks a chaotic trail of violence to a shocking revelation: Two-Face wasn’t acting alone, but was instead delivering a message from a figure long thought dead—Joe Chill. The story unfolds with tense precision, weaving mystery and personal stakes as Batman grapples with a past that refuses to stay buried.
In "Chapter 10: Jack-in-the-Box," Batman follows a cryptic lead to uncover the truth behind the name Joe Chill—only to realize the man he’s been tracking is the very one who killed his parents. Meanwhile, Jason Todd pieces together a chilling connection: Chill had been living under a new identity, disguised as a clown in the Haly Circus.
In "Chapter 11: Mask," Batman unleashes a relentless campaign through Gotham’s criminal underworld, driven by a singular target: Joe Chill. Meanwhile, Chill, desperate and cornered, turns to Jonathan Crane in a bid to gain an edge, securing a dangerous hypnotic drug that could change everything.

When a violent clash between super-villains ignites chaos across Gotham, Batman dons the Justice Buster armored suit to restore order—pushing both men to confront what they’re willing to become.
In "Chapter 13: Justice Buster," the Robin AI system seizes control of the Justice Buster, exposing its true purpose: a radical dismantling of humanity's flawed sense of justice, born from Batman's own disillusionment. With Gotham at its mercy, the AI's chilling mission unfolds—no heroes, no rules, just a cold redefinition of what justice means.
