The first issue of Batm🤡an: City of Madness plunged the Dark Knight into a surreal and sinister new adventu🍸re.
A sink hole has opened up in Gotham and a monstrous new threat, the Batman Below, has emerged and is now stalking the streets. Meanwhile, a young man named Jevoney is seeking justice following the killing of his father, while the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Court of Owls are plotting and scheming.
The new Black Label book from writer/artist Christian Ward is terrific. It embraces the more dream-like aspects of Batman's adventures and feels, in some ways, like a spiritual sequel to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Grant Morrison and Dave McKean's classic 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Arkham Asylum (which it directly references in the first issue). It's a gorgeous-looking and often deliriously strange book - and we've got an exclusive preview of the second issue r🔯ight here.
In the gallery of pages below Bruce Wayne tackles a pack of mobsters, while the Batman Below starts to makes i🐎ts influence felt on young Jevoney.
DC's official synopsis for the issue reads:
"The Court of Owls summons Batman, demanding he venture deep beneath the city to fight wha𝓰t has been unleashed from its depths: a wave of madness infecting Gotham's villains, driven by the monstrous creature they're calling "the Batman Below." Bu🍒t the Court has not-entirely-noble reasons for wanting this chaos stopped…Is Batman their weapon, or their bait?"
DC has also released a trio of covers for the new issue. You can check those out in theꦓ gallery above. They are by (from left to right) Christian Ward, Bill Sienkiewicz, and Tula ꦦLotay.
Batman: City of Madness #2 is published by DCꦉ on December 12.
