Future State: The Next Batman #[nn]

In the near future, Gotham has fallen under the iron grip of The Magistrate, a ruthless private security force that enforces the law with lethal precision—and their most wanted is a new Batman. As the city burns under authoritarian rule, Luke Fox faces a volatile clash with his brother Tim over the aftermath of their sister Tam’s hospitalization, a wound that runs deeper than the city’s decay. Written by John Ridley and illustrated by Nick Derington, with colors by Tamra Bonvillain and letters by Clayton Cowles, this gripping chapter unfolds in a Gotham where justice is a weapon and family is a battlefield. The cover, by Ladrönn, captures the tension of a city on edge.
