A NEW YORK TIMES #1 Bestseller For years, Batman and Commissioner Gordon have stared into the unyielding black abyss that is Gotham City. Time after time, they’ve saved their beloved city from itself, not allowing it to be swallowed by a pit of violence and corruption. But even after a crime-fighting lifetime of confronting what they thought was the worst humanity had to offer, an even darker and more dangerous evil pushes Batman and Gordon to their limits. As the conflict comes closer to its resolution, they find that the truth behind this murderous crime spree isn’t just careening toward their doorstep—it has in fact emerged from it. Can two of Gotham’s proudest protectors bring justice to this malevolent threat in Commissioner Gordon’s most personal battle to date? Eisner Award-winning writer Scott Snyder launches into comics superstardom with his #1 New York Times best-selling debut work on the Dark Knight. This volume collects Detective Comics #871-881.

incredible story. light spoilers. james gordon jr. is a chilling antagonist. a psychopath one step ahead of everyone else. i was absolutely captivated by the character, so much so that perhaps it caused the smaller sub-plots to feel less interesting as i was itching to see what came next from james. nevertheless, this was excellently written and i loved the art. i did wish for a little more closure at the end of the story. but nothing could bring this lower than 4.5 stars for me.
