Batman, Batwoman, Red Robin, Orphan, Azrael, Batwing, and all their allies saved the city from a monster they helped create. Now, the group of these dark knights has fallen apart, and they must deal with the consequences. For young heroes like Cassandra Cain and Duke Thomas, the battle may be over, but the war is just beginning. They will not give up their efforts without a fight – even if it means turning to a different mentor than Batman. And for this role, Black Lightning seems to be the perfect fit. Even Batman agrees that Jefferson Pierce, a teacher and superhero, is the ideal choice to shape a new generation of crime fighters. However, Black Lightning and the Dark Knight are two very different people. Can their differing methods and goals help their young protégés, or will they plunge them into a chasm of uncertainty and force them to rely on themselves? Is Gotham even big enough for these two superheroes?
