The revolution's the puppet one the Orgham family put up in issue #1086 - Gothamites they'd worked up and infused with spirits, led by the figurehead Shadow Angel against Gotham City's " elites ".

Against it was Batman, most explicit of the challenges to the Orghams' total metaphysical control over Gotham, returned from the near-total defeat they'd dealt him.

With him was Nightwing, Azrael, and Batgirl - part of the response he'd been organizing.

( Against them was a possessed mob. )

His return, his appearance to save Jim Gordon and the Question (Renee Montoya) from the forces of the Orgham family, had been the end of #1083's main story.

He fought off the Orghams' men and monsters, denying the representatives of those who had Gotham City in their power.

When the battle was done, he had " It's good to see you too " for Jim.

For the Question, he had especially concrete evidence for the case she'd been working.

( He'd picked it up between issues. )

The main story has Batman as one - his struggle with the azmer the Orgham family'd inflicted on him's ripening him up for Barbatos.

In issue #1081, Talia al Ghul'd set him on a path to overcoming the azmer - had taken him to the Aras desert for it.

At the outset of Batman's subconscious struggle, Doctor Hurt'd appeared and left.

When Batman's progress took him to " the Gotham that the Batman saved ", the doctor came again.

( He guided Batman through the hypothetical. )

Catwoman'd come before that, in issue #1077 - said to him in his cell " We will come for you. "

He had that assurance with him as the Orghams' azmer wracked his psyche, as he was walked out to the gallows, as the Orgham retainer Shavhod addressed the Gotham crowd gathered for " A hanging. "

The eager and the hesitant listened to her explain the execution about to happen.

( There was a point beyond sentence on the condemned. )
