Description



About the Book



"In Batman's second year of his crusade against crime, while he is still changing and perfecting his craft and the art of the vigilante, the cowardly lot of criminals in the city are changing as well, giving rise to darker, specialized rogues. Two of the new, colorful rogues, Riddler and Catwoman, have just pulled off the heist of the century, robbing Wayne-Gotham Securities, getting away with 1.5 million in cash. After the robbery, after a few dead guards, with all of Gotham including Batman searching for them, they meet with their backer, Penguin--the man who will wash their money, take his cut, and secure their escape"--



Book Synopsis



A single theft cuts to the heart of Gotham's Dark Knight--and time becomes his most ruthless enemy. Tom King (Batman, Mister Miracle) crafts a razor-sharp psychological thriller that dissects motive, identity, and obsession with surgical precision. This is Batman pushed to his emotional edge, where every second exposes a deeper truth about who he is beneath the armor.

When a trio of Gotham's most notorious villains tear away something deeply personal from Bruce Wayne, Batman becomes a man racing the clock--not just to reclaim what was stolen, but to confront the wounds the theft has reopened. As Catwoman, the Riddler, and the Penguin turn on one another in escalating desperation, Batman is forced to push past anger, loss, and the limits of his own restraint.

This is a story about what Batman fights for when the mission becomes painfully intimate... and what Gotham's villains reveal about who he is underneath the mask. Every betrayal exposes a deeper truth, every clue leads closer to the heart of his pain, and every hour brings him nearer to understanding the cost of being Gotham's protector. Tom King (Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, Sheriff of Babylon) delivers a precise, character-first script brought vividly to life by David Marquez (Miles Morales: Spider-Man, Civil War II), whose clean storytelling and dramatic clarity heighten the tension on every page.

Collects Batman: Killing Time #1-6.
