Williams III. It follows Kate Kane, a former military cadet turned vigilante, as she confronts the mysterious cult leader Alice and her twisted Wonderland-inspired schemes. The volume also includes the backup story from Detective Comics #861, featuring the origin of Batwoman.
In "Elegy, Part One: Agitato," Batwoman faces a chilling confrontation with Alice, who drugs her with a hallucinogenic substance, plunging her into a nightmarish vision of her mother. As the line between reality and delusion blurs, Colonel Kane arrives to intervene—yet even his presence may not be enough to protect her from the horrors Alice has set loose. Written by Greg Rucka and illustrated with stunning precision by J. H. Williams III, with colors by Dave Stewart and letters by Todd Klein, this issue’s haunting cover by J. H. Williams III captures the tension of a battle fought in both mind and shadow.
In "Elegy, Part 2: Misterioso," Batwoman faces a terrifying confrontation with Alice, who traps her in a web of hallucinations that bring her mother back to life—only to reveal a deeper, more sinister threat. As Colonel Kane arrives to intervene, Batwoman must fight not only Alice’s cruel mind games but also the monstrous forces she’s unleashed, testing her resolve in a battle where reality itself feels fragile.
In "Elegy, Part 3: Affettuoso," Kate faces a tense evening at a party hosted by her stepmother, where old tensions surface and new alliances form—especially when she crosses paths with Maggie Sawyer. As the night unfolds, the threat of Abbott looms, and the sudden capture of Colonel Kane sends shockwaves through the city.
In "Elegy, Part 4: Rubato!", Batwoman faces off against Alice in a high-stakes aerial showdown aboard a military plane, racing to stop her from unleashing a deadly chemical weapon over Gotham. The city’s fate hangs in the balance as the two adversaries clash in a tense, desperate struggle through the sky.
In "Go, Part 3" from Batwoman: Elegy, Jo confronts the shocking truth behind her sister Beth’s return, unraveling a past long buried. As the final pieces of her origin come together, the revelation of Beth’s identity forces Jo to reckon with a legacy she never knew she carried.
