Premise
A mysterious virus has infected Gotham City, turning its citizens into rabid, yellow-irised maniacs driven to looting, theft, and bursts of anger. As Batman and his Gotham Knights—consisting of his protégés Nightwing, Batgirl, Robin, and Red Hood—try to contain and stop the outbreak, their search for more information about the virus leads them to uncover the story of the Runaway, an early Gotham vigilante who dealt with a similar outbreak in the 1800s.[1]
