This issue is actually about how the Batman, or rather his legend, can affect the people around him. Even people that he barely comes in contact with. A Gotham boy stumble across one of Batman's patrol routes. He goes to the same spot, day after day, to make sure he's not hallucinating it. He's kind of a social outcast at school, so he sees this information as a chance to impress a girl. Isn't that what it's always about? Anyways she's a Bat-fanatic. But she's never actually seen him. So, adding the 2 obvious parts together, he offers to take her someplace to see him. He's gets her up to the rooftop, but Batman never shows. At least not until after the gang of criminals do. Batman obviously takes out the gang, but when cornered one of them puts the girls life in danger. Seeing this the boy steps up to do something to save her life. Of course he has Batman's help, but still, he saves her. Add to that that as Batman leaves he turns around to shake the boys hand and thank him, and I think the relationship has been established. I know it was a fill in story. But, it was nice to see one of the stories on the peripheral. It was a nice feel good story too.
