The threat is real and can't be stopped by man or hero. To combat it, Batman must bring time itself to a standstill so that he can embark on an odyssey of self-discovery to a place unknown to mankind, where he can find himself. But is this a place where only failure awaits?"

"Written by NEAL ADAMS Art and cover by NEAL ADAMS 1:10 B&W Variant cover by NEAL ADAMS Batman's odyssey has brought him to the underworld, where The League of Assassins has been firmly established for decades! The League is liquidating its enemies to make way for the Sensei to take over his father's kingdom, and after that, the world itself. But if Batman can't conquer his inner demons and learn to save lives by taking them, he may forfeit the war to the League!"

"Batman has sidestepped death time and time again, but that all ends in this issue with the gut-wrenching reality of the Underworld. It's a surreal - yet all too real - voyage into a personal hell of his own. Batman will never be the same."

"Ra's al Ghul's underworld has taken Batman to the brink of cold-blooded murder - now beyond. Will Batman step up to the hard decisions? And what if Robin gets in the way? This is a cold cruel place, this underworld."

"What did Batman expect to find on his Odyssey to the Underworld? So far it's been nothing but tragedy. Once The Dark Knight took the first step, the world he knew was gone. Will Batman become the thing he most loathes: a murderer? Each step takes him closer..."

"Faced with the deaths of Talia, himself and everything Bruce Wayne holds dear, Bruce (Batman) and his new friends Bat Man and Primus have put life on hold to make their way through the strangest place in Earth: the underworld. There, Batman lays his life on the line to find the answer that will save lives - but will the price be his own soul?"

"You're about to see the event you never expected to see! Has Batman learned the lesson he was destined to learn? The Sensei, a warrior of the highest caliber, can be defeated only by an act Batman swore he would never commit. Can Bruce Wayne, the Dark Knight detective, put aside his morality for the sake of his city, his world, and the people closest to him? Or is this the last moment for Batman?"
