In the Batcave, Damian Wayne shows little interest in the Great Dane dog that his father Bruce bought for him, while engaged in a game of chess with Alfred Pennyworth. Bruce, meanwhile is heightening the manor's perimeter defences. Alfred explains that the move is meant to protect his family from harm, but Damian is annoyed that such decisions are being made without him. Despite having been trained by the best chess masters in the world, Damian is rash, and he loses to Alfred, letting his anger get the better of him.
