Gotham City has endured much through its dark, twisted history, and even the cosmic changes wrought by the Crisis on Infinite Earths couldn't give the town a fresh start--the grime is in its DNA.

A new Batman’s deadly crusade against the criminals of Gotham City begins! Bruce Wayne, battle-broken and out of commission after his epic showdown with Gotham’s famous villain Bane, has appointed a new Dark Knight to keep the bad guys at bay. Jean-Paul Valley (a.k.a. Azrael) has assumed the role of the caped crusader, but without Bruce’s integrity as a calming influence, Jean-Paul is swiftly getting out of hand, alienating both Robin and Commissioner Gordon. Meanwhile, the hulking baddie Bane is still on the loose, while new villainous foes are introduced onto the battlefield that is Gotham, including master marksman Mekros and sinister sniper Gunhawk. Also, watch out for the return of familiar faces such as the serial killer Abattoir and, of course, the eerily jovial Joker.

Vítejte v Gothamu. Ve městě plném nejen šílených padouchů, klaunů a tučňáků, ale i mnohem prozaičtějšího zla: feťáků, lupičů, pouličních gangů, drogových dealerů a sériových vrahů. Městě, kde má zlo spoustu tváří. Může vypadat jako sadistický psychop at, který rozřezává ženy na kusy a pohazuje je v popelnicích, nebo jako profesionální zabiják s tajnou misí, za nímž zůstávají desítky mrtvých. Takovéhle zlo je mnohem nebezpečnější a nepostižitelnější... a zasáhne Batmana mnohem nelítostněji a krutě ji, než sám čeká. Temný rytíř po dlouhé době naráží na protivníky, na které možná nebude stačit. Po knize Batman: Rok jedna přichází Crew s dalšími příběhy z dob, kdy se barvotiskový komiksový hrdina měnil v temného rytíře a kdy se spíš než na monume ntální souboje sázelo na ponurou atmosféru drsné školy. Ocitáte se na prahu Batmanova nejtemnějšího... a zároveň nejslavnějšího období.
