Description
After a long and harrowing time away, Batman has returned to Gotham City with a vengeance! Will he and his public-facing initiatives as Bruce Wayne finally transform the city into somewhere safe? And has the Riddler actually gone legit, or is it part of some greater scheme?
Batman is ALL IN! Zdarsky and Jimenez kick off a new era of the Caped Crusader in the aftermath of Absolute Power. Bruce has hit the ground running with brand new initiatives for the public and has dedicated himself to improving the city both behind the mask and without it.
However, his plans are complicated by a sudden, apparent change of heart by the Riddler, who now claims to have gone legit. Is this actually a new leaf for one of Gotham's most diabolical criminals? Or is there a bigger puzzle at play here—one that only Batman can possibly piece together before it's too late?
Batman Vol. 5: The Dying City collects Batman #153-158.
