Six months after being shot in the head, Richard Grayson wakes up in a hospital bed- with no memory of who he is. One night on patrol, Dick was shot by the KGBeast Anatoli Knyazev as part of Bane’s plot to break Batman mentally as well as physically. When he awakes he is met by his partner Amy Rohrbach who tries to remind him of who he is but fails. Dick tries to build a life from scratch knowing nothing of his past and even uses the name Rick not knowing his former nickname even. He gets a job as a taxi driver, living a miserable, alcoholic homeless lifestyle. One day though he wanders across a woman named Bea getting mugged in an ally, the instincts of his heroic nature kick in and he saves her- even remembering his training. Afterward him and Bea begin a relationship and he tries to become a hero once again, to dubious results. Throughout this time he is also haunted by the only clear memory he has- falling five stories after being shot. He has developed a crippling fear of heights because of this. Eventually though Amy and his surrogate daughter Sophia- as well as the entire Batfamily- are able to break through to him and get Dick back.
