Bruce looked at them with a grave expression. "There’s something you both need to do. Not as vigilantes, but as Dick and Barbara."
“And what would that be?" Dick asked, his voice carrying the uncertainty of what might come next.
"You need to marry each other."
Black Mask is back in Gotham, more dangerous than ever. The Batfamily gathers and decides that, to defeat him once and for all, they’ll need to infiltrate Roman Sionis's criminal network, but with an unusual approach: they’ll use their civilian identities.
Dick Grayson never imagined his family would adopt such a bold strategy, much less that he would be chosen to infiltrate Black Mask's underworld. To make his cover convincing, Dick will have to assume a new version of himself and enter the game with Barbara Gordon, not just as his partner, but also as his wife.
Now, Dick had three missions:
1. Save Gotham;
2. Defeat Black Mask;
3. Not fall in love with his fake wife.
