In "God of Battle," Batman faces a chilling new threat in Gotham when a brilliant, ruthless military strategist—locked in the body of an 11-year-old boy—rises as the enigmatic General, commanding a coalition of street gangs with cold precision. Written by Chuck Dixon and brought to life with sharp, intense art by Michael Netzer, this issue reveals a mind far beyond its years, making every move a calculated strike. The cover, by Sam Kieth, captures the unsettling contrast of youth and warlord authority.
