Mariko Tamaki, a New York Times bestselling and Eisner-winning author, unveils a potential future state of Gotham that rivals 1984. The Magistrate, a freelance military and surveillance corporation, has been hired by Gotham's leadership to transform the old city into a futuristic surveillance state free of vigilante-based crime and heroics. Batman, horrified by what his city has become, fought against the Magistrate with all his might, but they ultimately killed him. Or did they? Bruce Wayne, the former Batman, survived the assassination attempt and has been hiding for years, trying to figure out a way to defeat the Magistrate. The only problem is that he no longer believes he can. The Magistrate is too powerful, too big, and has eyes everywhere. It's up to Batman to carry out one final mission. Destroy their command center, expose the drones, and free the city. Whatever the cost.
