Story Premise 

The story follows Batman after he is seemingly eliminated and "killed" by the Joker during the opening round of the King Omega tournament for the Heart of Apokolips. 

• The Contingency Plan: Instead of being erased, a secret failsafe in Batman’s Apokoliptian armor activates a Boom Tube, teleporting him away.
• A Different Gotham: Batman arrives in a version of Gotham City he doesn't recognize—a vibrant, neon-lit metropolis where he is treated as a legendary, failed figure known as "The Bat Who Fell".
• The Conflict: He is immediately ambushed by a squad of Robins (Robin, Inc.) and eventually confronted by this world’s Batman: an older, bitter Dick Grayson. 

Key Revelations 

• The Dark History: In this potential future, Bruce Wayne reportedly went insane after using the Lazarus Pit to stay young and ultimately killed his other Robins before disappearing.
• First Appearances: The issue features the first appearances of the Batman of the Unknown Future (Dick Grayson) and Robin, Inc..
• Themes: The story explores Batman's legacy and his fears regarding whether his students should—or even want to—surpass him.
