Batman that he was a child killer over 30 years ago, and (similar to the film M) the mobsters had found and killed him when there was too much pressure from the cops over them.

Faith (#21–23) By Mike W. Barr, Bart Sears, and Randy Elliott A drug addict is rescued from a fatal beating by Batman, which inspires him to organize a group of neighborhood vigilantes to take up Batman's cause. However, his addled dreams convince him that he must supplant Batman. Meanwhile, Dr. Leslie Thompkins discovers Bruce Wayne's secret identity.

Also, it is the first Legends of the Dark Knight story to not consist of the original five issue=one story format.
