As tensions rise, Bruce discovers that Derek Powers has seized control of Wayne Enterprises to fund the GTO, while Terry McGinnis is secretly stealing an experimental bat-suit from the ruins of the Batcave—setting the stage for a new chapter in Gotham’s shadow. The cover by Sean Murphy captures the intensity of the moment with stark, powerful lines.
