Batman takes on an old foe outside of the Gotham City limits when the Riddler's theft of a Fabergé egg leads the Dark Knight thousands of miles away in search of answers. When the immortal super-villain Vandal Savage joins forces with the Riddler, Batman is transported to the Old West and meets the original owner of the egg, gunslinger Jonah Hex!

But will these superheroes get the edge over the most brilliant villain Batman has ever faced? Or will the Riddler's nefarious scheme run its course exactly as the clever criminal planned?
