Batman: Justice Buster #3

In "Baby Bird Spreads Its Wings," Dick Grayson finds himself caught between duty and instinct when a routine rescue turns into a confrontation with a bully targeting a young boy, all while the city’s authorities turn on Batman amid rising tensions over Justice Buster’s actions. The story unfolds with quiet intensity, grounding its superhero drama in the everyday moments that define heroism.

In "The Sign," Dick Grayson faces a brutal encounter with a bully, only to be rescued by a figure whose laugh is all too familiar—though something’s off. As the truth begins to unravel, Joe Chill reaches out through a mysterious drone linked to the ROBIN AI, pulling Dick into a web of deception that blurs the line between past and present.

In "Talk Show," Batman brings Jason into the Batcave to probe the unsettling link between Joe Chill and the tragic death of the Flying Graysons. As Dick grapples with the painful truth that the boy he tried to save is gone, Joe Chill—disguised as the Red Hood—unveils a chilling plan to the Gotham underworld.

In "The Man Who Laughs at the Clown," a string of grisly murders leaves Gotham’s underworld shaken, each victim marked by a grotesque grin—echoes of a past long buried. As Jason tracks down Dick, he’s drawn into a web where Sam Reynaud’s identity hides a secret tied to Joe Chill, forcing him to confront a truth that could unravel everything he thought he knew.

In "Death in the Family," Jo finds herself caught in a brutal twist when Joe Chill ambushes Jason Todd, subduing him with a nerve toxin and dragging the paralyzed detective into a hidden underground passage. There, Chill prepares to take on Jason’s identity as The Joker, setting the stage for a dangerous transformation.
