Worse, his kingdom is in ruins and an enclave of of Stahlias greatest historical enemy -Kamora. The Bat tries politics to win back his homeland and when that fails he decides to fight for it!

However, he is unaware that some old, and new, enemies are lying in wait to stop him and all of them want one thing: The Bat dead!
