Synopsis for "Snowblind"

One day in Gotham City, Bruce Wayne learns that Klaus Kristin has been spotted in the Himalayas and he goes as Batman looking for him, to bring him to justice.

Batman assumed Kristin was dead after their previous encounter, but now he knows the truth and he wants to capture the killer. Upon arriving at the frozen mountains, Batman gets help from a native named Chi and they follow the trail of Kristin. When they manage to locate him, Batman and Kristin engage in combat and fall to the cold waters of a river. Kristin saves Batman before running away, leaving the Dark Knight baffled. As Batman and Chi continue their search, they come across a Yeti, but they escape unharmed.

Finally, Batman locates Kristin and asks him what is he looking in the mountains. At that moment, the Yeti returns and Batman understands that Kristin has come to join his father (now his only living relative) since he is already dying from his half-human, half-Yeti condition. The Yeti and Kristin go together to the mountains, where they can finally live in isolation and peace — even if these are the last living moments of Klaus Kristin.
