Asema has been harvesting the blood of innocent people in Gotham, and it seems that Batman will have a hard time stopping her. While Batman’s armor is capable of protecting against most attacks, and he’s an expert at disabling enemies, it’ll be a little harder with Asema, as her fingers are literal scalpels capable of piercing through most things with ease. It’s also worth noting that Asema seems to be targeting young people specifically, which means the blood of someone like Batman should be worth quite a lot, even if he’s not in his prime.
Batman really only excels when he knows the enemy he is up against. When Batman is facing unknown variables, he tends to flourish. Acema has every advantage in that she has an unknown connection to Bruce Wayne and her method of killing is something that Bruce has not really gone up against before. While Batman has dealt with serial killers like ZSS, he has never dealt with someone specifically harvesting the blood of their victims. Batman will have to quickly work out Asema’s modus operandi and her relationship to Bruce Wayne if he has any hope of defeating this new villain.
