In "The Anvil of War," Batman faces a chilling threat as the General—housed in the body of an 11-year-old boy—unites Gotham’s gangs into a disciplined force with a plan to assault a police station. Written by Chuck Dixon and illustrated by Michael Netzer, with inks by Scott Hanna, colors by Adrienne Roy, and letters by John Costanza, this issue delivers a tense, grounded clash of tactics and ideology. Sam Kieth’s cover captures the eerie contrast of youthful form and military command.
