Summary:
Two years after Batman fires Robin and Jason Todd (AKA Batboy) returns from an interstellar mission to find his sort-of little brother missing, Talia al Ghul’s jet touches down on Gotham soil.
Her objective? Take revenge on the Court of Owls, the secret society hidden under Gotham that ordered Ra's al Ghul's death at the hands of a Talon, one of their personal assassins.
In the Court's underground labyrinth, Talia is once again confronted by the Talon she fought when defending her father. During their intense battle, Talia manages to unmask him, and she realizes that this Talon is the key to answering a question that has plagued even the Batman: what happened to Dick Grayson?
