About this Collection

This 1999 trade paperback collects the sprawling 'Cataclysm' storyline that ran across the Batman family of titles, depicting Gotham City devastated by a massive earthquake. The collection brings together the initial event issues, showing Batman and his allies struggling to rescue survivors and maintain order as the city crumbles around them, setting the stage for the subsequent 'No Man's Land' saga.

In the wake of a city-shaking earthquake, a desperate alliance forms between Spoiler and Huntress as they navigate the ruins of Gotham. With the Cluemaster and other escaped inmates loose, the two must rely on each other to survive the chaos. Written by Chuck Dixon and illustrated by Eduardo Barreto, with inks by Bill Sienkiewicz and colors by Jason Wright, this gripping prologue sets the stage for a high-stakes battle in a broken city—cover by Dave Taylor.
