☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis deluxe hardcover collects John Ridley's acclaimed run on Batman, including the miniseries The Next Batman and backup stories from Future State, exploring a new era for Gotham's protector. The volume features Ridley's socially conscious storytelling, focusing on Tim Fox as he takes up the mantle of Batman, alongside classic appearances by the Dark Knight.
In the near future, Gotham has fallen under the iron grip of The Magistrate, a ruthless private security force that enforces the law with lethal precision—making the new Batman their most wanted. As tensions flare between brothers Luke and Tim Fox over the aftermath of their sister Tam’s hospitalization, the city braces for a reckoning that could change everything. Written by John Ridley and illustrated by Nick Derington, with colors by Tamra Bonvillain and letters by Clayton Cowles, this story unfolds with a tense, grounded intensity. The cover, by Doug Braithwaite, captures the grim atmosphere of a city on the edge.
In a future Gotham ruled by the ruthless private force The Magistrate, a new Batman emerges—haunted by the city’s descent and hunted for defying its iron grip. Meanwhile, Luke Fox faces a volatile rift with his brother Tim, their fractured bond strained by the painful legacy of their sister Tam’s hospitalization.
In "The Next Batman Chapter 3," Batman faces a grim choice: deliver captured killers to the law while shielding them from the Magistrate’s lethal orders. With trust fraying and danger closing in, he must navigate a city where justice and survival are at odds.
In "The Next Batman Conclusion," Batman races against time to deliver captured killers to police headquarters, navigating a deadly gauntlet of Magistrate forces sworn to eliminate him on sight. With tension ratcheting high and every step a potential trap, the Dark Knight’s resolve is tested like never before.
