This collection reprints the 1997 storyline 'Prodigal,' which follows Bruce Wayne's temporary retirement from the role of Batman and the subsequent struggle of Dick Grayson (the former Robin) to take up the mantle in his place. The story, published by Titan, explores Dick's efforts to prove himself as Gotham's protector while facing old and new threats, as well as the lingering shadow of Bruce's legacy.

In "Wings over Gotham [Prodigal Conclusion]," Robin confronts a relentless, steel-winged assassin known as Steeljacket in a high-stakes aerial battle over Gotham. As tensions between Dick and Bruce reach a breaking point, their long-strained relationship comes to a head in a raw, heartfelt conversation that reshapes their bond—Bruce finally admits he sees Dick as a son. With that clarity, Dick embraces his identity as Nightwing, and Bruce returns to his role as Batman, hinting at what’s to come.
