Batman: City of Madness #1

In Batman: City of Madness #1 ("Book One"), Christian Ward launches a haunting, self-contained mystery where Batman’s latest clash with Two-Face uncovers a disturbing third presence within Harvey Dent. As a sudden sinkhole tears open in Gotham, revealing a long-buried underground realm, the Court of Owls confronts a terrifying truth: their ancient prison holds a twisted, darker version of Batman—now free, and on the move. With the city unraveling above and a nightmare below, Batman must face not just the past, but a reflection he never expected. The story is illustrated, inked, colored, and lettered by Christian Ward, with cover art by Ward as well.
