“Book One: Kidnappings!”

"Book One: Kidnappings!" kicks off Gotham Underground #1 with a city in chaos, as Gotham’s rogues’ gallery finds their ranks thinning—mysterious disappearances sparking a dangerous power vacuum. Batman operates in the shadows as Matches Malone while his allies keep the public front steady, setting the stage for a tense, high-stakes game of control. Written by Frank Tieri and illustrated by Jim Calafiore, with inks by Jack Purcell, colors by Brian Reber, and letters by Steve Wands, the issue’s cover by Jim Calafiore captures the city’s creeping unease.
