A unique new vision of Gotham, built to be the logical next step for fans of the 2022 film THE BATMAN!
Bruce Wayne’s mission as the Batman has only been underway for a year or so, but he can tell he’s making a difference in this city. Unfortunately, he’s made some powerful enemies–and not just among the colorful maniacs called “super-villains.” All the traditional power brokers of Gotham resent the disruption the Batman has brought to town… and it seems one of them has a plan to neutralize him. There’s a second Batman haunting Gotham’s rooftops and alleys–and this one has no qualms about murdering criminals, live and on tape. With the entire might of the Gotham City Police Department and Gotham’s rich and powerful coming down on his head, Batman must find this imposter and somehow clear his name…but how can you prove your innocence from behind a mask? Mattson Tomlin–creator of the hit Netflix series Project Power and director of the upcoming Mother/Android–has teamed up with Eisner-winning suspense and horror artist Andrea Sorrentino (JOKER: KILLER SMILE, Gideon Falls) to create a wholly new version of Gotham City, informed by grim reality, where every punch leaves a broken bone and every action has consequences far, far beyond Batman’s imagination!

A fairly everyday storyline for Batman and these are not so easy to come across nowadays. Extremely plausible setting and few interesting characters. With better visuals (sometimes the art makes it very difficlut to follow what is happening) and tighter writing this could have been one for the collection. As such its a decent attempt overall.
