Synopsis:

Bruce Wayne encounters a 'nobody' who discovered his secret life as Batman by accident, and was forced to give it up to Doc Creasey, and was mortally wounded for his pains. He tells Wayne that Creasey is to auction his secret to the highest bidder, and Batman interrupts the auction, as does the Joker, one of his men shooting Creasey dead, taking Batman's secret with him. The 'nobody' wanted to know why Bruce/Batman does what he does - his answer is that he does it for people like him, for the nobodies.
