8 year old Bruce Wainwright has a fascination for Batman comics, due in part to his name. When his parents are murdered and his uncle Alfred is unable to take care of him, young Bruce is sent to private school. Upset over his parents' deaths, he wishes for justice, and soon a mysterious Bat Creature starts appearing to fight criminals and to track down the killer of Bruce's parents.
Publisher’s description
Young Bruce Wainwright lost his parents in a violent crime…and in the real world, no superheroes exist to save the day. But as grief and rage builds inside Bruce until he feels he can’t keep it inside anymore, something strange starts taking wing in the Gotham night! Perhaps Bruce’s grief isn’t inside him after all? 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!
