Synopsis:

Bane arrives at Wayne Manor, but with no hostile intent - he needs Batman's help to destroy one of Ra's al Ghul's so-called Lazarus Pit. Calling on help from occultist Jason Blood, they discover the location of the pool where Achilles bathed, and render it useless. Bane then reveals to Batman that there is a possibility they may be related, as Thomas Wayne once visited Santa Prisca as part of emergency medical relief, and apparently had a romance with a local woman...
