On a dark night, with mayhem on the verge and the citizens in despair out of nowhere you see two shadowy figures they come into the light and its no other than Batman. Alongside him you see what you expect to be Robin but no its Beowulf?

Batman takes care of Gotham City with the help of a police force while Beowulf was called to kill Grendel by Hrothgar to help his kingdom because Gr...
