Batman has returned to Gotham after leaving the cowl behind for a year following the DC Universe-spanning event, INFINITE CRISIS. Having entrusted the safefy of his city to his former foe, Harvey Dent, a.k.a. Two-Face, the Dark Knight believes he's re-entering a better, more secure Gotham. But after a string of brutal murders targeting some of the members of Batman's Rogues Gallery, it quickly becomes apparent that keeping your enemies close might not be in the best interest of the citizens Batman's sworn to protect.
