With the destruction of Arkham Asylum and dozens of Gotham City’s most lethal villains rioting through the streets, it would seem that Nightwing, Robin and their allies have their hands full. But they hadn’t counted on the return of Batman himself! But is it really The Dark Knight? If so, why is he acting so strangely? And if not, is this a threat that could mean the destruction of Gotham?
This 3-issue series continues to shock and surprise as the battle shifts to the next level with a face-off and ending that will have everybody talking. Who has earned the right to be Batman? Who thinks they deserve it? Robin? Nightwing? Jason Todd? Who will ultimately win the BATTLE FOR THE COWL?

BONUS REVIEW by Stephen Banas
To preface, I hate Jason Todd. So, when he's running around in a ridiculous get-up and gunning people down as 'Batman' then I'm probably not going to like what's happening. However, underneath all the incredibly awful Jason Todd sections of this issue is actually a very well written and illustrated story with characters that are actually interesting and engaging. This middle issue was PACKED with action and juicy, important plot threads. I can't wait for the conclusion of this mini-series where hopefully the correct person (or persons) will suit up and put us all out of our misery by sending Jason Todd packing, alone, to some isolated corner of the earth where he belongs.
