When Wayne Enterprises employee Lucius Fox is captured by freedom fighters in the nation of Markovia, Batman seeks the aid of the Justice League to rescue him; however, the group declines Batman's plea for help, stating the potential diplomatic problems that may result from such an attack. Angered, Batman quits the League and decides to go alone. In Markovia the king dies, leaving his sons Gregor and Brion in charge of the country. Meanwhile, the hero Metamorpho is in the country seeking out Dr. Jace in another attempt to cure himself. While Batman enlists the aid of Black Lightning to help find Lucius, the plan goes awry, when Black Lightning's planned capture is interrupted by Katana who has come to Markovia seeking revenge. During the altercation Black Lightning is captured, and Katana escapes. Batman later finds the mysterious amnesiac girl named Halo, and the two go seeking out Batman's friends, while in the Markovian palace. Brion is given super-powers by Dr. Jace and becomes the super-hero Geo-Force; however, he is betrayed by his soldiers and shot in cold blood. Metamorpho tries to avenge the boy, but is similarly captured. Batman is soon also captured by the soldiers, leaving only Halo alone in the wilderness to figure out what to do. Coming to, Batman finds himself in a dungeon with the other heroes and Lucius, and soon finds out that he is a prisoner of Baron Bedlam.
