Infected with a lethal virus created by a scientist hired by the Joker, Penguin and Two-Face, the rapidly deteriorating Batman has only 24 hours left to live... precious little time to find a cure and rescue a kidnapped little girl whose life is on the same timetable. As the terrorist group that has taken the girl hides from the Dark Knight's search, Batman finds that the virus is taking its toll on his mind as well as his body. Fighting his way through pain and delirium, Batman turns all his personal resources to saving the kidnap victim and finding a cure before time runs out for them both. But even with the help of Robin, Oracle, and the Gotham City Police Department, one truth remains: 24 hours is not enough time...and it's all Batman has left.
