A summons from Commissioner Gordon has Batman, with Tim Drake’s help, hunt down a mugger who has killed three people so far.

He relives his early live at the Manor, his meeting of Alfred, his discovery of the Batcave, the death of his parents, his meeting Leslie Thompkins, his education abroad, the creation of Batman, his rogues gallery, the history of the Robins, and the Knightfall. In the end, Batman finds the mugger and saves the life of a father and son. Notes: A Zero Month crossover issue. Continued in Shadow of the Bat #0.
