Batman: The Adventures Continue #1 is a chapter in the digital-first series Batman: The Adventures Continue (Volume 1 (Digital)) with a cover date of April, 2020.
Synopsis for "Hardware, Part 1"
After quickly dispatching with Bane, Batman encounters a rogue robot that is seven stories tall and wreaking havoc on a Wayne Enterprises building. It leaps away after causing significant damage.
In the Batcave, Batman continues investigating but the android has undetectable technology and specifically targeted some extraterrestrial machinery given to Batman by Superman. Alfred encourages him to put the detective work on hold to attend a gala that includes his on-again, off-again love interest Veronica Vreeland and Lex Luthor, visiting from Metropolis.
Luthor mentions that Superman has not been seen for days after a fight on the moon before cryptically leaving the party. Batman confirms that he's gone and looks to find out what the connection is at a rural airfield. His suspicions are correct and the robot stands dormant in an aircraft hangar. Just as he attempts to get data off the menace's hard drive, he is captured by Luthor, decked out in his warsuit.
