In "Eyrie," Batman and Robin respond to a high-stakes heist at a blood bank, uncovering the unsettling return of the Crime Doctor. With Mob boss "Big Moe" McAllister in need of a transplant, ex-con Shuyler Reems makes a dangerous deal to become a donor—putting his family’s future on the line. Written by Mike W. Barr and illustrated by Norm Breyfogle, with colors by Julianna Ferriter and letters by John Costanza, this 2018 issue features a striking cover by Alan Davis and Paul Neary.
In "Eyrie," Batman and Robin race to stop the Penguin’s audacious plan to steal genetically-enhanced falcons for a high-profile international sale, all while G. Gordon Godfrey ramps up his crusade against vigilantes with a new speech tour. The city’s skyline becomes a stage for a clash of cunning and chaos, as Gotham’s heroes face both a criminal mastermind and the growing tide of public distrust.
