Storyline Former Mayor Kroll is found dead in his study. After being "cured" of the Ebola Gulf A virus, he contracted a variant, killing him within a matter of hours. After learning where Azrael found the cure, Batman decided to go there (Africa) with Nightwing and Robin. Huntress is asked to be 'official' Gotham vigilante in the absence of the BatSquad; the Batsquad strike gold in the desert: Ra's al Ghul, Talia, and Bane. Fights ensued, but the Demon, his daughter, and his chosen heir escaped. After learning the Demon's possible locations, Batman sent Nightwing and Robin to Paris, while he left for Edinburgh. Dick and Tim mopped up some mooks in France and headed back to Gotham. Batman finished up in Scotland by capturing the virus held by the Demon's men. After hearing from Robin, he headed to Calcutta. Oracle had him meet Lady Shiva there. Together, they rescued the virus from a river. Back in Gotham, Batman took down Bane, who was to unleash the virus, while Nightwing, Robin, and Huntress tracked down Ra's al Ghul and Talia on their yacht. Robin was able to upload the Demon's plague database to Oracle while Nightwing and Huntress took out the crew of the ship. The computer room exploded, but the Batsquad escaped on Dick's boat. Oracle figured out a cure, and Gotham was saved once again.
