Storyline Bruce Wayne visited Scotland to witness a ceremony on honor of one of his ancestors. He noticed a pattern in the breaks on four adjacent tombstones. That night, Batman investigated and was attacked. A woman who seemed to be able to control birds helped him get free of the men. She introduced herself as Sheona, an American teacher looking for her brother. Batman got photos of the gravesites to Oracle, who linked them to a map. She sent him the coordinates as their car was attacked. Alfred's driving got them away.
Bruce took a tour of the building depicted in the missing tombstone pieces (the building was linked to the Knights Templar). One of the members of the tour group got bored and stormed off. That night, Batman followed the two men who attacked him into the building. Their leader, the man from the tour group, was inside already - he'd discovered the treasure room. The man wearing a plague mask defeated Batman. He'd found an ancient process that could turn ordinary men into super-humans.
Batman caught up with them on a train. The leader fell with the train's engine after Batman detatched it from the passenger cars. He was able to secure the virus the man had planned to unleash on his centuries-old rival family. At the next stop on Bruce's vacation, he bumped into Sheona. The castle was attacked by a helicopter, but Sheona stopped her brother's revenge plot. They were both killed.
