A city in chaos. A legacy in question. Welcome to Gotham's most explosive era of mystery, madness, and reinvention.

The second volume of Detective Comics: The New 52 Omnibus continues Gotham's descent into shadows as the World's Greatest Detective faces dark visions, deadly conspiracies, and a new mantle of the Bat. From the mind-bending "Gothtopia" to the gritty realism of "Icarus" and the ideological chaos of "Anarky," this era redefines what it means to protect Gotham.

As Bruce Wayne grapples with corruption, loss, and identity, a new Batman, Jim Gordon in a mechanised suit, rises to defend the city in his own way. Featuring gripping work by writers John Layman, Francis Manapul, and Peter J. Tomasi and art from some of DC's finest, this omnibus collects a thrilling chapter in the legacy of the Dark Knight, where the line between hero and symbol is tested like never before.

Collects Catwoman #27-28, Batgirl #27, Birds of Prey #27-28, Detective Comics #25-52, Batwing #27, Detective Comics Annual #3, Secret Origins #2 and #10, Detective Comics: Futures End #1, Convergence: Justice League #1, and Detective Comics: Endgame #1.
