Comments:
This story is continued in part from Legends of the Dark Knight #1 and continues in Legends of the Dark Knight #3.

Gordon's rank as Captain places this story sometime after the events of Batman #407. Batman also makes reference to saving Gordon's family which occurred in that story.

Batman decides to create the Bat-Cave in this story.

Synopsis:
Two off-duty police officers interrupt a ritual of human sacrifice. They shoot the leader of the cult, Chubala, but he does not die. One of the cops is then killed and the other is critically injured. Batman connects the case to the woman who killed herself screaming the name Chubala months earlier. He also finds a murdered graduate student, who worked for Madison Spurlock. Spurlock recently studied the indian tribe which Bruce Wayne encountered prior to returning to Gotham City.
