So what’s Batman/Catwoman: The Gotham War – Battle Lines #1 about?
THE BAT/CAT WAR STARTS HERE!
Crime is down in Gotham City… Could that be a bad thing? A coordinated effort in Gotham has led to a reduction in violent crime, but at what cost? Villains scatter as their lives begin to crumble under a new regime. And as Batman recovers from his epic battle through the Multiverse and the horrors of Knight Terrors, one name runs through his mind. One name at the heart of this new, safer Gotham…Catwoman. A conflict that’s been brewing for well over a year finally hits the streets, and it will fracture the Bat-Family as war erupts! From bestselling writers Chip Zdarsky and Tini Howard and artists Mike Hawthorne and Adriano Di Benedetto comes the opening shot in the Gotham War!
This opening one-shot prelude to “The Gotham War” features a main cover by Batman series artist Jorge Jiménez, with art by Mike Hawthorne and Adriano Di Benedetto (“The Bat-Man of Gotham”). The issue also features variant covers by Joe Quesada, Kael Ngu, Otto Schmidt, and Jonboy Meyers. Fans can visit their local comic book shop for availability and pre-ordering.
