In Batman's second year of his crusade against crime, while he is
still changing and perfecting his craft and the art of the vigilante,
the cowardly lot of criminals in the city are changing as well--giving
rise to darker, specialized rogues.
Two of the new, colorful rogues, Riddler and Catwoman, have just pulled
off the heist of the century, robbing Wayne-Gotham Securities, getting
away with 1.5 million in cash. After the robbery, after a few dead
guards, with all of Gotham including Batman searching for them, they
meet with their backer, Penguin, the man who will wash their money, take
his cut, and secure their escape. And Riddler shoots Penguin in the gut,
grabs the loot, and turns to Catwoman. "It's ours, all of it. All we got
to do is escape this city."
Riddler and Catwoman take to the road, both weighing how long they can
go before they need to take the other out. And as they move about the
city they're hunted by an inexperienced Batman who knows two things:
One, he'll need to be better than he's ever been to catch these two
psychopaths; two, Penguin survived and if he gets to them first, it'll
be a bloodbath like Gotham's never seen.
Three villains, one Dark Knight, and a deadly heist gone wrong.
Catwoman, the Riddler, and the Penguin join forces to pull off the
greatest robbery in the history of Gotham City. And their prize? A
mysterious and priceless artifact in the secret possession of Bruce
Wayne! But, as the events unfold, what fun is a heist without a bloody
double-cross or two? The blockbuster team of Tom King and David Marquez
brings an epic, white-knuckled, action-packed tale of a young Batman
desperate to recover his most prized possession from a host of violent
rogues before the clock strikes the Killing Time...
