One week elapses between pages 7 and 8. Batman, Robin, Nightwing, Oracle, Bane, and Pix all appear in both sections; Kimmie Kariba and Monique appear only in the first section; all other characters appear only in the second.

Synopsis:

Bane claims he may be Batman's relative and will not leave until the question is answered via a blood test. Batman's allies fear that he may be here for other, more sinister reasons and are determined to keep a close eye on him. Meanwhile, a conceptual artist takes revenge on the lowlifes of Gotham after she is raped - she uses a nanite ink to create deadly tattoos. Batman and Bane set out to investigate the first of these disturbing deaths, while Huntress looks on, disgusted at what she sees.
