Synopsis:

Batman is looking for people who may be able to lead him to Abattoir even as the serial killer's incarcerated cousin puts out a bounty on the serial killer's head to the tune of $50,000. A former punk group, now doing dirty work for the Roselli family, decide to pursue this bounty, as does ex-cop Kelvin Mao, now the invulnerable vigilante Ballistic. All three parties collide when tracking down some of Abattoir's former associates...
