Synopsis for "The Devil You Know"
One week ago a former staff member of Wayne Enterprises irrupted into the office of Batman and threatened him with a gun. But Sasha Bordeaux, the bodyguard of Bruce Wayne, was present as well and subdued the attacker.
After a night of crimefighting, Bruce Wayne returns home and receives a surprising call that he can pick up his gun at a firearm store. Obviously someone has used Bruce's credit card to buy a gun. Bruce's disdain for guns has not disappeared, but there is a voice represented by Batman inside his head urging him to add a gun to his arsenal. And a video at the firearm store is proof that Bruce actually bought the gun himself without remembering it now.
Later, Bruce picks up the gun without any ammunition and drives back to Wayne Manor. Holding the gun in his hand he stands in front of the painting of his parents. With tears in his eyes he goes to his knees and throws the gun away ...
