Batman #19 by Scott Snyder and Jim Capullo is out this week but what does this cover mean?

This series will continue as a team-up book with rotating guest stars: Batgirl and Red Robin are coming up. This week’s Batman and Robin #19 could be an important bridge to those team-ups. Who will Bruce meet in this issue that will change him forever?
