Always good of them to give away the big twist in the solicitation. Anyway, this is actually a pretty decent book, considering it's a Ra's story by someone other than Dennis O'Neil and drawn by the usually less impressive Jerry Bingham. It's pretty much a Batman story done as a big summer action movie in the model of a better James Bond movie, including the satellite weapon system and would-be world conqueror. Anyway, well worth reading, especially at this new lower price (I don't think the reduced size will make much difference). I'm not quite sure why...
...anyone would decide to get Andy Kubert to do pretty much a straight copy of Bingham's better cover (the original Bingham cover to the hardcover was worse), except to add the tie-in with the current Batman storyline.
