The story is told in 3 acts. Act 1: Batman is investigating a scene and the clues lead him to Talia. Talia explains she is looking for a statue stolen from Rha's and that she will be leaving Gotham. She offers to travel together, knowing that he will follow. Batman's only interest is in the thief's location. Act 2: Talia finds Bruce Wayne in his hotel room (meaning they arrived separately) and drags him out on a date. Following a series of romantic events, just as they are getting touchy Bruce decides to call it a day. They follow the trail of the statue together, but are caught and tied inside a warehouse that is set on fire. Act 3: As they are escaping the fire, Talia confronts Bruce about their proposal. Following a kiss, Batman escapes to attack the thugs while Talia stops the big boss from getting away and recovers the statue. Batman asks what was inside it and Talia departs broken hearted.
