Sure, Batman might have developed a counter to himself (a Failsafe) should he ever stray from his mission and actually take a life - - - but shouldn't Failsafe have been activated long before this story? SO it starts with Batman stopping Penguin's plans but what happens when he kills himself and frames Batman and then a failsafe activates and thus we have one of the new best threats in DC in quite a while and I love the way he battles Batman and how it involves even Superman and the Justice League and my god those entrance pages were so awesome and this story is so action oriented and I love the fast paced nature and just seeing Failsafe defeat the league and what Batman does to stop him was insanely cool, my god so many high moments in the story and then the ending battle just brilliant and leads into the next story arc so well! At first he doesn't know how to defeat it or what it is, so he turns into the Batman of zur-en-arrh.

The origin of Batman and his never-ending fight against crime in Gotham City is modern mythology, but what of the story in between? The Bat-Family's very first encounter with Failsafe doesn't go well at all, with it managing to beat them very thoroughly. As DC Comics puts it, these final two issues will prove whether The Dark Knight can beat an enemy he’s created himself, one that has an answer for any possible attack!Despite their pure intent to save the world, it only takes one bad day to see them turn against those that they serve and protect. In one now-notorious sequence in the book, the Justice League’s moon-based Watchtower facility explodes, hurtling Batman into space.

While talking to his girlfriend Dana, Bruce reveals he wants to be a cop, but Dana laughs and tells Bruce that the only reason why he wants to be a cop is because of vengeance.When Bruce tries to justify his decision to create plans against the League, Superman asks Batman what the contingencies against himself are. As time goes by, Bruce does not attend his classes because he does not see them as important anymore, and has been participating in underground fighting clubs. While trying to locate where Bruce has skedaddled off to, Failsafe realizes something: Out of all of Bruce's allies, Aquaman has made no effort to come to Gotham try and rescue his teammates since the City's fall. Haven't there been plenty of Batman stories where he's wanted for murder, a fugitive pursued by the police? Being now framed for murder, this unstoppable freight train in the form of an indestructible AI machine, he must outthink himself to put an end to this chaos generated by Failsafe, a devastating force that does not hesitate to put his loved ones at risk, no matter the costs.
