☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn the wake of Gotham City being abandoned by the U.S. government and left to fend for itself, lawlessness reigns and survival is a daily battle. With no power, scarce supplies, and the people divided into warring factions, hope is fading—especially since Batman hasn’t been seen in 93 days. But when a new, enigmatic vigilante begins marking gang territories with a bat-shaped symbol, the city wonders: is this a sign of a return, or something far more unsettling? Written by Bob Gale and illustrated by Alex Maleev, with inks by Wayne Faucher, colors by Digital Chameleon, and letters by Willie Schubert, this gripping first chapter of "No Law And A New Order Part One: Values" sets a tense, atmospheric tone. The cover, a striking portrait by Alex Ross, captures the city’s grim transformation.
In the wake of Gotham City’s abandonment by the U.S. government, lawlessness reigns and survivors cling to scraps in a city stripped of order. With the police fractured and hope fading, the sudden reappearance of a bat-shaped symbol carved into gang territory stirs uneasy whispers—could Batman still be out there, or is someone else playing his part?
In "No Law And A New Order Part Two: Strategy," Commissioner Gordon orchestrates a dangerous plan to weaken rival gangs in Old Gotham by fomenting a war between the Demonz and the Lost Boys, all while the GCPD consolidates power in Tricorners. As tensions flare, Batgirl and the Joker emerge from the shadows, each making their presence known to the city’s underbelly in ways that promise to shift the balance of power.
In the aftermath of a brutal gang war that leaves Gotham's streets scarred, Batman reemerges to find a new Batgirl stepping into the shadows. As the police move in to restore order, the two share a quiet moment—one that hints at a shifting legacy in the city’s darkest corners.
