Plot

Batman must counter sinister machinations and new dimensions of wickedness as he confronts the hooded menace of the Mad Monk, his first encounter with a supernatural villain. He also must deal with the direct repercussions of the events in Batman and the Monster Men.

Continuity

• The ending of this story ties in with the ending of Year One and leads into The Man Who Laughs, which portrays Batman's first encounter with the Joker.
• During an internal monologue in issue #1, Batman mentions Catwoman's involvement in the events of Year One and the soon-to-be Joker ("First her and then that poor wretch in the red cape and hood").
