thanekosThe explosion was the climax of #1072 - it was Batman's choice, his taking of a " sacrifice yourself to save Gotham City " offer.
The explosion was the detonation of Orgham Tower, to the shock of the crowd gathering around the opening of that symbol built on the grounds where Arkham Asylum'd stood until A-Day. It was also, to the expectation of Batman and the plan of the man who'd offered him the choice, nothing that affected the villain's lair directly under it.
The next step in the work that villain was shepherding unfolded - one of his associates, tied to the family Orgham of Svatrstal in a lesser degree than he was, came on the air.
( She showed the people of Gotham the choice of Batman. )

thanekosIt's the opening of Orgham Place, the tower built in Gotham City on the grounds of the blown-up-on-A-Day Arkham Asylum.
It's the Orgham family about to trigger their dynamics-of-Gotham-shaping Thelemus Engine " at [a] pivotal moment of inflection in [the city]'s subconscious " - and it's Batman and his allies trying to stop them.
The issue opens on Batman taking hits from a masked Arzen Orgham (the son of the family, leading its public and private work in Gotham. With his face for the former on, he's got a dynamic with Bruce Wayne - one where neither of them know the mask the other puts on.) under Orgham Place.
( The hits were hard ones. )

thanekosIt's the story she told him in issue #1070, of this run's antagonists - the family Orgham.
She had the tale from her father, a character in it.
Her telling didn't start with Ra's al Ghul - it started with ' [t]he daughter of the sands [marrying] the firstborn son of the desert wind. '
( ' Orgham ' was the daughter's side. )

thanekosIn issue #1067, representatives of that family'd made their next move in Gotham City - the purchase of land rights in the city's Narrows, the burning of buildings thereon, and the taking of people therein.
Bruce Wayne, hearing about the last two as they were happening, drove off towards the Narrows.
Batman, above the fray of the Narrows, leapt into it. He grappled with the Orgham agents in issue #1068, fought an even enough fight until he was poisoned.
The situation was in the Orghams' favor, then - until Harvey Dent (forcibly pulled into the Orghams' orbit back in issue #1063) gave himself over to Two-Face.
( Two-Face made away with Batman. )

thanekosIssue #1066 had had Bruce Wayne talking to one of the Orghams of Svatrstal about ideals - and Batman confronting one of the Orghams' operatives, one of the shadows behind their public philanthrophy.
Victor Fries had been a third party in the conflict, someone of interest to the Orghams. He'd exited the scene, setting off devices that froze the other two to the spot.
The Orgham man, Gael Tenclaw the werewolf, was breaking free of the cold with his strength - as Batman was with a device in his belt. Something else surged into their near-the-river stage - running water that drove Gael above ground, that washed Batman away and left him prone.
( Victor picked him up and took him away. )

thanekosThat issue's main story had ended on Batman, having fallen into Gotham's harbor after interfering in the League of Assassins' assassination attempt against a visiting delegation of the royal Orghams of Svatrstal, being pulled out by Jim Gordon and his friend.
Batman awoke in the private detective agency that Jim shared with Harvey Bullock now, unmasked and bandaged up: " Your face is unhurt.. I bandaged it in the dark.. [b]ecause I.. uh.. I didn't want to know. "
He gathered himself together.
( Jim went to pour drinks. )
