Detective Comics #1111 Preview

 

Batman hasn't always been the indomitable caped crusader he is today. And anyone can get caught unawares. How Batman reacted when he was in mortal danger helped Prion understand him better. The two men bonded over the need to protect children from traumatic situations. 

So when they track Prion's daughter to her home, Batman confirms his suspicions. Arabella is a captive of people who use her as a weapon. Black Canary, no stranger to brainwashing, opts to sneak inside the compound to rescue her. But will Arabella let her? Or will Black Canary's admission about how Arabella's father died doom the surviving members of Flight Squadron Delta?

Past and Present Collide!

 

 

Many years ago, during the early days of Batman’s tenure as Gotham’s Dark Knight, he trained alongside Green Arrow and Black Canary, learning the combat skills that have served them throughout their careers as crime-fighters. But there was another heroic hopeful in their ranks—a mysterious man known only as Prion—who suffered a tragic fate that still weighs upon the trio. Now, face-to-face with a young girl who goes by the same code name, they find the sins of their past coming back to haunt them.
