DISCOVER THE DARK DESTINY OF GOTHAM CITY!

In the not-too-distant future, a sinister force has invaded the city of Gotham, and its a power unlike any the Bat-Family has faced before. The Magistrate controls everything, and their constant surveillance leaves Gothamites with nowhere to hide…even in their own homes. Where did the Magistrate come from? And who can stop them?

To make matters worse, in their path to total takeover, the Magistrate has killed Batman! Or have they? With Bruce Wayne off the grid, its up to his remaining friends and allies to help stave off the brutality of the Magistrate—or die trying!

Softcover, 344 pages, full color.
