mazingman728's spoilers from the DC Forums.
Cover has Bruce Wayne in the Batman body suit spearing the Bat cap and cowl with a pole with an eye in the sky looking on.
The ticker at the bottom reads “Death of the Batman!...Gotham Beast Wars continue!...I’ve got my eyes on you!...”
The solicitation for WEEK 30: Get ready for the story you never expected! "Batman...No More" — a full length 22-page adventure featuring Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson, Jason Todd and...Batwoman?!?
However, in this issue we have 20 pages of the Bat-Family instead of 22, an Origin that is solicited for the following week, and the only sign of Jason Todd is in the flash backs.
The first three pages are a basic history of Batman. The history includes Batman and Robin, Joker giving up murder for a while, Dick going away to college, Jason becoming Robin, Jason being killed, Barbara Gordon shot by the Joker, Batman’s back being broken, War Games, the return of Jason Todd, Robin’s father dieing, Batman about to shoot Alex…”He lost it. In the end he just lost it”.
Week 30, Day 1
Nightwing and Robin are in some Arab nation. They figure that they were set up to be “recreating that journey that turned Bruce Wayne into Batman”. Robin believes that “he wants us to be the new Batman and Robin…” Nightwing and Robin knock out the two guards on the premises and find the Bat cape and cowl on a large urn.
Gotham City: A doctor friend of Kate Kane is looking in on Charlie due to his suffering through cancer. She has given him some morphine to help him get through the pain. Kate offers to let Renee and Charlie stay there are her apartment as Renee has been evicted from her apartment for not paying the rent in six months. Renee finally accepts the offer as Kate leaves for the night and tells Renee that “I won’t be back until late. Don’t wait up”. Renee goes into Charlie’s bedroom to sit with him for awhile and starts to meditate.
Nightwing and Robin have made their way into a warehouse where they find a truckload of weapons, “this stuff could start World War3, 4, and 5”. The only warehouse person still conscience bites down on a poison pill as Nightwing is interrogating him on the were about of Batman. Robin goes looking for Batman on a ATV while Dick takes off back to the states to cover things in Gotham.
Week 30, Day 3
Bruce is walking in the desert and comes across a man with his eyes blindfolded and a eye on the tip of each of his fingers. The man is a member of the Ten-Eyed Brothers and Bruce has tracked them down to slice out his demons. Bruce has to fight the one to prove himself and upon doing so four other Brothers appear with swords and surround Bruce. Robin shows up and finds Bruce on his knees and asks Bruce if he needs a hand to which Bruce responds “The Ten Eyed Men kill demons Tim. I asked them to kill mine. I asked them to cut out all the dark, fearful, paranoid urges I’ve allowed to corrupt my life…and they did. It’s over. Batman is gone”.
Week 30, Day 7
Gotham: Batwoman is fighting a gang of beasts trying to get information as to where Mannheim is. During the fight she turns and asks “You going to lend a hand here or are you just planning on getting an eyeful?” At which point she is joined by Nightwing “You have to admit, it’s quite an eyeful. What can I say? I’ve got a thing for redheads”. Only to receive a quick rebut of “Trust me I’m not your type”. They defeat the beasts but a wolf gets away; “Nightwing pleased to meet you.”
“ Batwoman”
“Yeah definitely not a Batgirl”.
Both Batwoman and Nightwing agree to look for Mannheim together with Nightwing starting in the north of town working south and Batwoman starting at the south of town working north. Batwoman fires off her grappling hook and leaves.
