Synopsis for "Shadow on Stone"

Neolithic Gotham and the Deer Tribe have arrived to a holy location to investigate an object from the future "a sky cart." After investigating the object a strange man wearing grey pants and holding a yellow belt steps forward. After he speaks in tongues the leader of the Deer Tribe (man) tells Giant to introduce themselves. After the strange man speaks in yet more tongues they leave him to his own devices as he investigates the Sky Cart (now revealed to be a time capsule sent from the Daily Planet) they then discover the corpse of Old Man and several odd designs of many colors painted on the walls, among them: a bat, wonder woman's logo, Hope in kryptonion. After which the Blood Mob attacks and kills all but boy and Bruce Wayne. Bruce is thoroughly beaten (by vandal savage) and awakes tied to a stake as Boy (dressed in a Robin Costume) rescues him and Bruce dawns the corpse of another victim of the Blood Mob, the Bat beast. The Batman is back...
