Batman #4
This volume collects issues from the 2021 Batman series, continuing the storyline following the events of 'The Gotham War.' It features the Dark Prisons arc, where Batman faces new challenges within the prison system of Gotham City, with creative contributions from writer Chip Zdarsky and artist Jorge Jiménez.
In "Infinite Frontier," James Tynion IV and Jorge Jiménez deliver a gripping chapter in Batman’s ongoing war on Gotham’s chaos, as the Dark Knight faces off against the relentless Peacekeeper-01, a force carrying out Simon Saint’s dangerous agenda. With Mayor Nakano turning to Saint’s Magistrate after a bombing at City Hall, Batman must evade capture and rally unlikely allies—including Ghost-Maker and Harley Quinn—before Peacekeeper-01 targets Miracle Molly and the Unsanity Collective. Jorge Jiménez’s striking art, with inks and colors by Tomeu Morey, brings a relentless intensity to this high-stakes showdown.
In "The Cowardly Lot Part One," Batman faces a new wave of chaos as the Unsanity Collective emerges, testing Gotham’s limits with psychological warfare. With Oracle’s tactical support and Ghost-Maker’s elusive aid, Batman must navigate a city unraveling from within—while Simon Saint pushes his Magistrate program on Mayor Nakano, and the Scarecrow’s shadow stretches just beyond sight.
In "The Cowardly Lot Part Two," Batman digs deeper into the Scarecrow's twisted motives, leading to a tense standoff with newly appointed Police Commissioner Renee Montoya. As Harley Quinn's unlikely foray into vigilantism draws the eye of a shadowy stranger, Oracle’s intel helps Batman close in on the elusive Unsanity Collective—just as Scarecrow makes a chilling visit to Simon Saint.
In "The Cowardly Lot Part Three," Batman slips into the shadows of the Unsanity Collective, facing off against their enigmatic tech mind, Miracle Molly, as his mission tests the limits of deception. Meanwhile, following a public tribute to injured Arkham guard Sean Mahoney, Simon Saint offers him a place in his new Magistrate program—marking the first step into a dangerous new order.
In "The Cowardly Lot Part Four," Batman closes in on Simon Saint, only to uncover the unsettling reach of Saint’s Magistrate program, while Ghost-Maker and Harley Quinn face the Gardener, who pleads with Harley to help rescue Poison Ivy.
In "The Cowardly Lot Part Five," Batman faces off against Peacekeeper-01, a relentless enforcer carrying out Simon Saint’s sinister plan. With Gotham reeling from a bombing at City Hall and Mayor Nakano turning to Saint’s Magistrate for order, Batman must evade capture and protect Miracle Molly and the Unsanity Collective—now targeted by the deadly Peacekeeper.
In "The Cowardly Lot Part Six," Batman, Ghost-Maker, and Harley Quinn race to protect the Unsanity Collective from an escalating assault by Peacekeeper-01 and the Magistrate, even as Mayor Nakano grants the Magistrate sweeping power to eliminate vigilantes. With Scarecrow's scheme unfolding in the shadows, the line between justice and terror blurs.
