Batman #57

In "De hamer," a wave of violence sweeps Gotham as mysterious deaths coincide with the arrival of out-of-town bikers. When Robin [Tim Drake] narrowly escapes a deadly ambush, Batman orders him to stay out of danger—prompting Tim to sneak off to a birthday party in Little Odessa. There, he meets Ariana Dzerchenko, a young woman caught in the crossfire of a growing conflict with the Russian mob. As Tim tries to help her without breaking his promise to Batman, he finds himself drawn into a confrontation with the brutal KGBeast [Anatoli Knyazev], forcing him to confront the limits of his own choices.

In "null," Robin [Tim Drake] is pulled into a high-stakes crisis when his childhood friend Ariana Dzerchenko is taken by KGBeast, the Russian mob enforcer, during a volatile confrontation. With tensions flaring and the Ghost Dragons—Lynx [Ling] and King Snake [Edmund Dorrance]—rampaging through Gotham, Robin must balance the chaos with help from Huntress [Helena Bertinelli], all while navigating the pressures of school and the lingering echoes of a past he thought he’d left behind.
