Plot synopsis

edit

After Robin has return to Gotham City a year following the events of Infinite Crisis, he is wanted after being framed for murder. He tries to find a way to clear his name by breaking into a police station to uncover the evidence left at the crime scene. The League of Assassins want Robin as a member, and the offer seems tempting. In the second arch, old tensions return to the surface when Robin confronts the son of his father's killer: the new Captain Boomerang. Robin and the new Captain Boomerang take a ride through Gotham's forgotten super-villain hideouts in a race against time to find an armed nuclear weapon before it detonates.
