Batwing (2011) #18, titled "Grounded," which serves as a major turning point in the series by concluding the journey of the original Batwing, David Zavimbe. Characters: The story focuses on David Zavimbe (the Batman of Africa) and his mentor/friend Matu Ba. Storyline: This issue is the climax of the "Enemy of the State" arc. Following a brutal series of events, Batwing’s "Haven" headquarters is in ruins and his high-tech armor is completely destroyed. Key Plot Point: Tragedy strikes as Matu Ba is killed during the conflict. Left without his armor or his closest ally, David must rely on his own skills and inner strength to survive and protect those remaining. Significance: This is a "transitional story" where David officially retires from the role of Batwing. It sets the stage for issue #19, which introduces Luke Fox (son of Lucius Fox) as the new Batwing.
