As part of a plot to drive him into exhaustion, Batman is forced by a mysterious foe who calls himself Bane to fight and capture all of his greatest foes from Arkham. Bane’s scheme goes even beyond, up to a point in which Batman/Bruce Wayne will have his own personal life affected, as he becomes more vulnerable after his relationship with Selina Kyle (Catwoman) escalates to a completely intimate level, and the villain Victor Zsasz sets to collect on his deadliest toll: Alfred Pennyworth.
