Deathstroke invades Gotham City with the help of mob boss Black Mask and a wave of super-powered criminals. Can Batman and Red Hood put aside their differences long enough to take down the Super-Villains? Or will their differences destroy the partnership before it starts? The Villains United want a piece of Gotham, and Black Mask is just the man to deliver it to them. Batman has his hands full defending the city - but before he can neutralize Deathstroke and company, Red Hood is going to take matters into his own hands, which forces a team-up between Red Hood and Batman, which doesn't necessarily go too well.
