Synopsis for "Wrath Child (Part II of IV)"
Batman and Wrath battle it out in a rumble that is quite evenly matched. During the bout, Wrath brings up June 26th, 25 years ago, the date of which Batman's parents were killed. Wrath mentions it for another reason though, it was the date that the parents of the original Wrath were killed by Gordon. Wrath thinks this would be a good time to flee, seeing as how the mention of the date has upset Batman. This leads into a chase through the streets of Gotham. Nightwing meets up with them, and tries to stop Wrath with the Bat-Zooka, only to have Wrath use the weapon against Nightwing. As Batman is helping Nightwing, Wrath escapes.
Failing to find any information on what happened 25 years ago, on June 26th, Batman makes a surprise visit to Gordon. He demands answers from Gordon as to what had happened on that date. Before he can get any answers, a couple of officers come rushing in, causing Batman to retreat.
Grayle Hudson wakes up in Wrath's lair. Grayle tells Wrath all about how the original Wrath had an obsession with mimicking Batman, and his plans to not only ruin Batman's reputation and kill him, but to do the same for Gordon as well. The last line alludes to the fact that The new Wrath was the "Robin" to the old Wrath.
