Batman: No Man’s Land vol. 4 TP, includes writing by Devin Grayson
In this final NO MAN’S LAND volume, Lex Luthor swoops in to help rebuild Gotham City — but his secret plan is to secure the ownership of much of the city’s real estate! In the chaos of the waning days of the city’s crisis, The Joker strikes, kidnapping a number of infants and killing members of the Gotham City Police Department.
The first time in print for this digital-first series! Original, non-continuity short stories featuring Batman as written and illustrated by some of comics’ finest talents! Stories in this debut issue include “The Butler Did It,” “All of the Above” and “The Crime Never Committed.”
A stand-alone issue starring the esoteric Harper Row, BATMAN #12 is written by Scott Snyder and features stunning guest art by Becky Cloonan, the first woman to ever illustrate the series.
On one level, kudos to DC Comics. On another level, I’m not sure why they want to admit that it took this long.
In this second NO MAN’S LAND collection, Batman and his allies continue their fight to save Gotham City in its darkest hour. Assuming a new persona as Batgirl, the Huntress joins forces with Barbara Gordon, while Nightwing tries to help the city’s remaining citizens. But is this a fight Batman cannot hope to win?
