The Spoiler died during a the gang war--or so Batman thought. When the media begin reporting on the Spoiler's private life and making accusations aimed at the Dark Knight, he begins an investigation that leads to a new confrontation with Gotham City's undisputed underworld boss, Black Mask. Complicating matters even further is the return of his deadliest opponent, the Joker, and the reappearance of an old foe long believed dead.
