During the course of the story, the Turtles get trapped in Gotham. Raphael has an argument with Bruce, claiming he's just a rich boy doing what he does for kicks and not because he actually cares, while the Turtles do what they do because they have to, or else they die. In response, Bruce leads Raph to Crime Alley and shows him where Martha and Thomas died, then explains that he became Batman for two reasons:
1. To overcome his fear
2. To prevent the same thing from happening to other families
