Metropolis had become a battlefield of shadows. A wave of sophisticated sabotage attacks pushed the Justice League to intervene, and when Bruce Wayne was pulled into the chaos, he didn’t come alone. Matthew Wayne — also known as the elusive vigilante Phantom — joined him, much to the League’s surprise. Cold, sarcastic, and calculating to a fault, Matthew's presence was anything but comforting. He wasn’t a hero in the traditional sense, nor did he try to be. His combat style was lethal, his trust nearly impossible to earn, and yet, Bruce insisted on having him there. Unbeknownst to the League, and even to Bruce at first, Matthew had his own reason for coming to Metropolis — a buried, personal mission.
