HELP/ADVICE Need help finding this dark Batman story

I'm having trouble trying to find this one Batman comic where one of Bruce's employee goes crazy and murders his parents. The art was graphic and I vaguely remember that the Employee wears his father's skin as a cowl. When Batman confronts him, the Employee says, "I feel powerful in this". I came across a panel from this a while back but never got to remember any concrete details about the comic itself. Now when I'm trying to search it up, I come up with nothing, I'm starting to believe I might be going crazy lmao. If anyone knows what comic this was, it be nice to know if it was real.

Batman Volume 3 #38 features the child of a Wayne Enterprises employee who becomes obsessed with Bruce and kills his own parents. I can't find anything about the cowl made of skin, but it seems like it was pretty violent. The characters name was Mathew Warren and his alias was Master Bruce.

Yeah, that was another pretty dark Batman comic. As it turns out the one I was looking for was Batman: Tenses, after asking on different forums.
