Ram V and a stellar team of artists—including Stefano Raffaele, Ivan Reis, and Eduardo Pansica—deliver a gripping chapter where Talia reveals a centuries-old secret linking Prince Orgham’s lineage to Ra’s Al Ghul, while Vandal Savage’s sudden attack on Queen Orgham throws the city’s fragile balance into chaos.

Unbeknownst to him, Arzen’s true scheme is to turn Gotham against its protector, using the hypnotic Thelemus Engine to reshape public belief.
In "Gotham Nocturne: Act II: Out of Hell Part I," Batman fights a relentless psychic assault from an Azmer, drowning in haunting visions of his past as he struggles to stay grounded. Meanwhile, detectives Fielding and Nash race against time to locate him before his mind—and Gotham—fall to the nightmare.
