   Summary

   If the Bats are a legend in Gotham, then they are but a passing whisper to the rest of the world. An overheard sentence that stops abruptly when it's clear they are being listened to. A secret widely discussed among only certain circles, and yet never fully put down in print.

   When the Justice League stumble onto Gotham's biggest secret, they embark on their quest to discover more about the Bats, and find a lot more than they expected...
