Alone in his room, Bruce notices the Bat-Signal in the sky and goes to meet Commissioner Gordon. Together, they head to the morgue, where Gordon shows Batman what was left of the body. They found only a mass of skin and muscles without any shape because all the bones in the body had been crushed. Gordon takes Batman to the place where they found the body, and they realize that there is a hole in the wall, but there arent bricks or rubble around, which leads Batman to the obvious answer that someone crushed the wall in the same way as the bones of the victim were destroyed. After that, Batman returns home and tries to sleep for a while, but the nightmare continues, and he decides to work on the mystery in the Batcave. That day, a woman named Jeannie Bowen arrives in Gotham City, looking for his long-lost brother. She is staying in a modest hotel, and the next day, she goes to the last place her brother was seen Wayne Enterprises. She waits for the personnel manager, but after a while, she asks for help from Riordan, the research director at Wayne Tech, who tells her that her brother never worked in Wayne Enterprises, tearing all her hopes apart. Batman goes to Pier 38 to stop a drug dealing racket that night. The vigilante patiently waits until the criminals complete their transaction, but before they can do it, they are attacked by a big man wearing a white hood and some artifacts on his wrists. The man crushed the cargo ships where the drugs were being transported and then attacked the criminals until the timely intervention of Batman. They fight, and Batman manages to hurt the man that calls himself Bonecrusher, who tries to escape with his open wound bleeding profusely. Batman tracks Bonecrusher to a warehouse rooftop, where he tries to take the man to the police. Still, the Bonecrusher jumps to the high-voltage lines and kills himself, preventing further recognition. When Gordon and the police arrive at the scene, Batman explains that because of the headache he felt before Bonecrusher appeared, the man was using some ultrasonic gadgets that allowed him to pulverize solid objects by using different frequencies of sound called ultrasound and infrasound, and thus making him the responsible from last night's murder. Elsewhere in Gotham, a homeless man tells his friends about a dream he had where he fought against Batman on the docks, and he was a big man. Chapter Two: The Kindness of Strangers Some days later, Jeannie Bowen looks for help in a private corporation that contacts Bruce Wayne. Bruce can relate to Jeannie's story as they both are orphans with no one else in the world and decides to help her. Bruce takes her on a tour through Wayne Enterprises. After a while, they meet with an old man in a wheelchair called Kenneth Harbinger. Bruce explains to him that Jeannie is looking for her brother. They show Kenneth a picture of the lost man, which Kenneth remembers as a young intern who used to work at Wayne Tech but disappeared six months ago. Riordan, the man who told Jeannie that her brother never worked in Wayne Tech, learns about their discovery, reports the news to someone, and demands a plan of action. Jeannie is so happy about progressing that she invites Bruce to the opera that night. As they drive to the opera, Bruce notices the Bat-Signal, apologizes to Jeannie, leaves her on the road, and meets Gordon because the Bonecrusher was spotted again. At that moment, the homeless man is attacked by thieves, and before they can hurt him further, his friends rescue him and take him to a soup kitchen to recover. Batman arrives at the scene and confronts Bonecrusher. At the same time, the homeless man starts replicating Bonecrusher's movements and actions at the soup kitchen. Batman uses a smoke pellet to distract Bonecrusher until the police surround him again. Bonecrusher decides to sacrifice himself instead of turning in and detonates a bomb near the flammable truck behind him. Before dying, his last words were, I am the scheme. At that moment, the police arrive at the soup kitchen and control the homeless man, placing him under arrest. One of the officers who arrested him uses the radio to tell Gordon about the situation and tells them that the man's last words before being subdued were, I am the scheme. Batman visits the homeless man at the prison and remembers him as Roy Kane, Jeannie's brother, at first sight. The man has lost all the memories he had, and Batman requests Gordon to set the man free. The next day, Bruce and Jeannie meet with Roy, who is left with one of the best doctors in Gotham. Jeannie is happy to be reunited with her brother, even though he doesn't remember her. The doctor explains to Bruce that there is some sort of biochip on Roy's head, like the technology that Wayne Tech has been developing. To repay them for all their troubles, Bruce offers Roy and Jeannie the chance to stay at Wayne Manor. During their stay, Bruce asks Roy to remember anything about Wayne Tech, but Roy only remembers the word Sunday. At night, Bruce investigates the Wayne Tech files in the Batcave, looking for the word Sunday, but the only thing close to it is a project file named Sabbath. Bruce tries to enter the file but is somehow prevented from doing it, and at Wayne Tech, Riordan calls the same person as he did earlier and informs him about Bruce's latest action. Chapter Three: The Price of Knowledge On a quiet day at Wayne Manor, Jeannie, and Roy are talking about their future when suddenly Roy starts to shake violently, and the security alarm is triggered. Alfred informs Bruce that there is a security breach and that someone is already inside the house. Roy starts posing weirdly in front of a wall, and with an explosion that tears the wall down, Bonecrusher enters the house in the same pose as Roy. Bonecrusher realizes that Roy is intercepting his transmissions, and thus, he replicates every movement that Bonecrusher makes and that it must be why Bruce discovered the Sabbath project. Bonecrusher attacks Roy and knocks him down before focusing his attention on Bruce. However, Alfred strikes from behind with a tranquilizer dart, and Bonecrusher falls, allowing Bruce to approach him and try to reveal the man behind the hood, but before Bruce can do it, the body explodes. When Roy recovers, he remembers something from Wayne Tech and the word Sabbath; it is an acronym for surgically augmented biochip-bearing assault troops, or in other words, remote-controlled killers. That night, Batman infiltrates Wayne Tech, where an illegal operation occurs. Batman takes out all the thugs and infiltrates Kenneth Harbinger's office, where he finds the old mans body hanging from the cables of his laboratory and his assistant, crying alone over the death of his mentor. Batman checks the computer and searches the files for the Sabbath project, and what he finds leaves him speechless. Kenneth Harbinger is the mastermind behind the Bonecrusher. The scientist found a way to use other people's bodies by placing his mind into the hosts' bodies, which made him happy to feel the sensation of walking and the youth again. For the Bonecrusher project, he recruited eight men with great physical features. He also lied to Bruce about Roy because he was one of his earliest experiments, and he got rid of him when Roy started to ask too many questions. In the end, Kenneth was blackmailed by Riordan. He decided to take his experiments to the next level and permanently transferred his mind and conscience to a different body. In the following days, Wayne Tech's laboratory for Sabbath Project is dismantled under Bruce Wayne's orders. When he tries to tell Riordan that he is out of the enterprise and that he will report him to the authorities, Riordan show Bruce the documents of the Sabbath Project, supposedly authorizing all the activities in it. Bruce tells Riordan that he isn't scared of him or his forgeries, and Riordan tells Bruce that he also has secret information about him. He tells Bruce that they have been following him for the last fifteen years and possess his ultimate secret. Despite the threat, Bruce tells him that he will carry on with the plan and expose him to the authorities, and Riordan makes his move. When Bruce arrives at Wayne Manor, he finds that Federal Agents are questioning Alfred and his guests. Bruce thinks he knows why they're there, but he is shocked when they arrest him under the charges of being a secret spy for the Communist party. .\"\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eFirst Appearance of Jeannie Bowen\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eFirst Appearance of Roy Kane\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eFirst Appearance of The Bonecrusher\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"replacement-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n            \n        \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"replacement-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unbranded","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47689144271004,"sku":"G8-37","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/7193\/4876\/files\/data_ee175f19-4133-4011-937d-d5eb44f9961b.jpg?v=1790278393","url":"https:\/\/pleasantviewcomics.com\/products\/detective-comics-598-vol-1-1989-dc-comics-1st-app-high-grade-comic-book-g8-37","provider":"Pleasant View Comics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
