Storyline A Wayne employee was killed in Kravia when his vehicle drove over a land mine. His daughter and her friend were missing. After talking it over with Alfred, Batman parachuted into the country with a mine-sniffing dog. His dog was immediately killed by a sniper. The next morning, he found a group of locals who thought they might have seen the girls he was looking for. What he found there was parts of the girl, also killed by a mine. He eventually caught up with the mine-laying terrorists and took them down. Using one of their guns, he shot the mines they'd placed. After encountering their leader, he followed an envoy she'd sent out for the missing girl. Batman rescued the girl and the local couple who had been taking care of her. As he called for his helicopter, the girl reached for what she thought was a toy. She was killed by the mine.
