Plot

In the past, a young Bruce Wayne learns of a secret, shadowy organization called the Court of Owls from his father Thomas. After witnessing the death of his parents, Bruce suspects that the Court was behind the murder but finds no evidence, which leads him to believe the Court was in fact just a story. In the present day, Bruce's son Damian goes out as Robin to rescue missing children abducted by Anton Schott AKA Dollmaker, who has been brainwashing them into his "dolls". While Batman frees the children, an angry Damian confronts Anton on his own. A mysterious figure in an owl costume appears and advises him to kill Anton, tearing Anton's heart out when Damian refuses and leaving a feather behind. Batman comes across Anton's corpse and suspects Damian of killing him, due to his past violent actions and the fact that the mysterious figure was only seen by him. Bruce thinks Damian is dangerous, prompting him to place security measures around Wayne Manor to prevent him from going out as Robin without his permission.
