Young Bruce Wainwright lost his parents in a violent crime…and in the real world, no superheroes exist to save the day.

Modern masters Kurt Busiek and John Paul Leon unite for the spiritual companion to the beloved SUPERMAN: SECRET IDENTITY, putting a new spin you’ve never seen before on the legend of Batman-and the dark emotions that drive him!
