Batman, perhaps more than any other superhero, is forever associated with his origin story. Time and again stories return to that moment in Crime Alley. What started with a simple two-page story in 1939's Detective Comics #33 has been extrapolated into a series of indelible images: Gunshots ring out in the dark. Pearls scatter. Bodies fall. And a small boy cradles his dead parents alone and heartbroken.
It seemed inevitable then that the Knight Terrors event - which forces DC's heroes and villains to confront their own worst fears following a Nightmare Wave - would return to that point once more.
