About this Collection
Collecting the entire 12-issue story arc, Batman: City of Crime follows the Dark Knight as he investigates the disappearance of a young girl, leading him into a labyrinthine conspiracy that exposes the deep, systemic rot and hidden horrors lurking beneath Gotham City's surface. Written by David Lapham with art by Ramon Bachs and Nathan Massengill, this moody, noir-infused saga emphasizes detective work and urban decay over superhero theatrics.
In "In the Dark," Batman and Robin race to save lives during a raging fire, only to uncover a chilling horror: five dead pregnant girls, locked inside a room before the blaze started. Written by David Lapham and illustrated by Lapham and Ramón Bachs, this gripping tale unfolds in the shadows of Gotham, where every clue leads deeper into a mystery as dark as the flames that consumed them. The cover, by David Lapham and Ramón Bachs, captures the tension with stark, haunting detail.
