History: (Batman: Year 100 #2, 3) - America was ruled by the totalitarian FCP, and an unknown man took up the identity of Batman to combat them. Robin was an orphan adopted by Batman, and served as his assistant and mechanic, backed up by GCPD forensic scientist Goss and her computer expert daughter Tora. Batman witnessed the death of a fed, and was shot by the AAPC, who wouldn't tolerate an unidentified citizen. Goss performed surgery on him, and Tora and Robin watched over him while he recovered. Batman determined to examine the dead fed, and Tora found the body's location in a FPC facility. Robin finished work on a hi-tech cycle for Batman, and left in a nearby tube so he'd have an extraction method. Batman returned, and Robin informed him that the FPC had actually acknowledged his existence, calling him a terrorist. Batman found a gold filling in the dead man's mouth, and learned that the shooting victim was impersonating a fed. The gold filling was actually a superprocessor, and Tora extracted the data it contained, a recipe for a biochemical weapon called Fleshkiller that could kill millions.

(Batman: Year 100 #4) - Goss changed her tune a bit when she saw the Fleshkiller blueprints, and Batman suspected it was part of a military coup, since thee AAPC had killed the smuggler themselves. Batman said he needed someone on the inside with a grudge, and Goss mentioned Detective Gordon, whose grandfather had worked with the Batman of 1939. Gordon found the erased tape of the night thwe AAPC smuggler died, and realized they were trying to frame Batman. He reported to fed Agent Tibble, who was meeting him at the state park at dawn, demanding he hand over the GCPD files on Batman, and told Batman to meet him there. Robin geared up as Batman, and with his mentor they both rode their motorcycles into the city, confusing the AAPC. Robin evaded the authorities and went to a safehouse outside Gotham while Batman made his way to the park. Robin told Tora the suit didn't fit him that well, and he never really expected Batman to pass the mantle to him, so he intended to come up with his own secret identity and gear. Gordon met with Tibble, Mercer, and their boss Agent Pravdzka. Gordon gave them the official GCPD files, but not his grandfather's computer files that documented Batman's activities from 1939 to 1986. Mercer used his telepathy to uncover Gordon's deception, and nearly forced him to reveal Batman's identity when the vigilante busted in. He easily beat down Tibble and Mercer, and showed Pravdzka that he'd uploaded portions of the Fleshkiller recipe online, so everyone could see what the FPC was up to, as well as the antidote to the doomsday weapon. He deduced that Mercer had tried to steal it from under his nose, and Agent Pravdzka told Mercer he'd hang. Batman said he expected all of them to be jailed, and when Agent Pravdzka asked who he was he replied that he was the thing that went bump in the night. Gordon handed over his grandfather's files to Batman, and said he wanted toi fight the FPC as much as he did. Batman fled into the night before the press and military arrived.
