Batman #12
This volume collects the first half of the 'City of Bane' storyline from Tom King's Batman run, following the Dark Knight as he returns to a Gotham City under the tyrannical rule of Bane and his allies. The trade paperback includes issues #75-79, where Bruce Wayne faces the consequences of Bane's takeover and the mysterious figure known as the Flashpoint Batman.
In "City of Bane Part 1," Gotham descends into chaos as Bane installs a new regime of villains under Commissioner Hugo Strange, with the city’s justice system in disarray. When a murder shakes the city, Strange summons Batman Thomas Wayne—working alongside Gotham Girl—to unravel the case, while the real Bruce Wayne searches for answers in a distant land and Lex Luthor makes a dangerous proposition to Bane. Written by Tom King and illustrated by Tony S. Daniel and Mitch Gerads, with colors by Mitch Gerads and Tomeu Morey, and lettering by Clayton Cowles, this pivotal issue features a striking cover by Tony S. Daniel.
