For Bruce Wayne, 18, the suit is more than armor-it is the absolute proof of his will. As a trans male vigilante, he has spent years meticulously forging his body into the perfect weapon: Batman. That control shatters when routine diagnostics in the Batcave reveal an impossible and devastating variable: Bruce is four weeks pregnant. Suddenly, the warrior is vulnerable, and his meticulously controlled life is thrown into chaos. This new biological reality clashes with his identity as a protector, demanding resources and caution he can not afford to give. The danger is immediate: his loving, non-vigilante boyfriend, Alex, sees Bruce's dangerous life as reckless and demands he quit his "corporate security job" entirely for the sake of their future Bruce buys time with a false promise to "scale back." But Gotham rarely allows for retirement. Before Bruce can process the news, an ancient and deadly threat emerges. The shadowy, high-society cabal known as the Court of Owls has activated its lethal assassins-the Talons-planning a major, symbolic attack timed for the Wayne Foundation Christmas Ball. Bruce must now break his promise to Alex and confront an enemy that requires absolute physical peak, all while hiding his secret beneath a hastily-modified cowl. He has days to redesign his armor to withstand high-kinetic impacts, knowing a single mistake won't just cost him his own life, but the life of the child he is already fighting to protect. To save Gotham and his new family, Batman must risk everything he fought to become. But first, he has to face the only person who holds the keys to his safety and his sanity: Alfred Pennyworth.
