Indexer Notes

Story was originally published online as The Next Batman: Second Son digital chapters 7-9. Each digital chapter was 10 pages each.

The seventh digital chapter, which would equate to pages 1-10 of this story, credited inks to Travel Foreman and Norm Rapmund, but doesn't break it down further. The eighth and ninth digital chapters, which would equate to pages 11-30 of this story, credited inks to Norm Rapmund. None of these three digital chapters credit Mark Morales with inks, but the print issue does credit him with inks.

Letters are credited to AndWorld Design in the print issue, credited as Deron Bennett in the digital chapters.
