In the wake of a grueling eight-week recovery, Batman stirs to find Gotham eerily quiet—crime has plummeted, and even the city’s most notorious villains can’t muster enough henchmen to strike. He soon discovers Catwoman is behind the shift, orchestrating a wave of non-violent, high-stakes heists that lure criminals’ underlings into safer, more profitable work. When she proposes a partnership to keep the city stable, Batman’s refusal sets the Bat-family on a collision course with her bold new vision.

In "Gotham War, Part 5," Catwoman stands at a breaking point, confronting Batman over his actions toward Jason while he fights to reclaim himself from a lingering threat.
