Below is how DC describes the project:
Batman. Deathblow.
One of these men is the world's greatest detective with unlimited resources for his vigilante quest for justice. The other is a soldier, a black-ops killer who does whatever it takes for the greater good. One holds life sacred above all else, while the other wouldn't hesitate to put a bullet in your brain if his mission called for it. So what happens when the two meet? We'll never know...because Michael Cray, code-named Deathblow, is dead.

The Dark Knight faces the daunting task of finishing a job that someone else started but — for reasons that remain a mystery — refused to finish. That someone was Michael Cray. And as Batman picks up the pieces of this unfinished job, he digs up the past of a man who was involved in political actions in which diplomacy was not an option. The Dark Knight gradually learns the two had more in common than he would like to admit.
AFTER THE FIRE is a mystery that spans a decade — a tale of secret agents, double agents and a charismatic madman with a fiery, lethal touch. It's also the story of two very different kinds of heroes, and the explosive results of the two crossing paths...even if one of them is dead!

BATMAN/DEATHBLOW: AFTER THE FIRE is a 3-issue Prestige Format WildStorm Productions miniseries edited by John Layman. The 48-page issue #1 arrives in comic-book stores March 20 with a cover price of $5.95 U.S.
