Prey:Book IV

Hugo Strange learns Batman's secret identity in this story.

This story is continued from Legends of the Dark Knight #13 and continues in Legends of the Dark Knight #15.

Synopsis:
Following the abduction of his daughter, the mayor pressures Gordon to find the Batman with orders to shoot to kill. Batman uses the sewers to escape from police. He then confronts Hugo Strange directly. Strange doses Batman with a hallucinogenic drug causing him to see his parents murder.

Strange gets Cort to provide police case records and deduces Batman's secret identity. He infiltrates Wayne Manor, knocks out Alfred and plants mannequins of the Waynes to taunt Bruce. Batman, still recovering from the effects of the drug, stumbles down the stairs into the Bat-Cave.
