QUOTES:
Batman: When you look too long into the abyss, the abyss looks back through you. Maybe it's time for Batman to return to the night that spawned him before anyone else gets hurt!

INTERESTING NOTES:
- Note the reference to the corner of O'Neil and Adams streets - a homage to Neal Adams and Denny O'Neil, the artist/writer respectively who are credited with reviving Batman as the somber "Darknight Detective" in 1970 with "The Secret of the Waiting Graves" (Detective #395).
