☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects issues #6-10 of the 2023 series, continuing the story of Jace Fox as he establishes himself as Batman in New York City. The arc introduces new allies and enemies while exploring Jace's struggle to balance his personal life with his vigilante duties in a city that doesn't trust its new protector.
In "Empire State of Mind Part 1," Jace finds himself drawn into a high-stakes investigation after a billionaire philanthropist's brutal murder shakes Gotham’s elite—initially reluctant, he’s pulled in by the victim’s troubling legacy. As the city’s leadership questions the new Bat task force, Jace must navigate shifting alliances and hidden motives in a case that tests his resolve. Written by John Ridley and illustrated by Christian Duce, with colors by Rex Lokus and letters by ALW's Troy Peteri, the issue’s bold, atmospheric art is matched by Olivier Coipel’s striking cover.
In "Empire State of Mind Part 1," Jace steps into the role of Batman with a firm grip on Gotham’s legacy, but his presence quickly draws attention in New York—where the mayor sees an opportunity and offers him a place on a high-stakes task force led by Detective Chubb.
In "Empire State of Mind Part 2" from *I Am Batman* #2, Jo, a vigilante with a sharp moral compass, hesitates to join Detective Chubbs' investigation into the brutal murder of a billionaire philanthropist—until the case begins to mirror the very kind of corruption he’s sworn to fight. As tensions rise between the police commissioner, the deputy mayor, and the newly formed Bat task force, Jo finds himself drawn into a web of secrets that blur the line between justice and vengeance.
In "Empire State of Mind Part 3," Jace narrowly survives a deadly confrontation with the killer, then turns to Lucius and Tiffany for guidance as he steadies himself. While the Mayor praises the progress of Strike Force Bat, the killer strikes again—abducting Commissioner Becket, plunging Gotham into deeper uncertainty.
In "Empire State of Mind Part 4" from I Am Batman #2, Jace pushes forward with the Strike Force after Commissioner Becket’s brutal murder, racing against time to stop the killer before another life is lost. A crucial conversation with Hadiyah offers Jace a new perspective that could change everything—but the path forward remains uncertain.
In "Empire State of Mind Part 5" from I Am Batman #2, Jace races to prevent ManRay from targeting the mayor, while Keenan moves in secret to eliminate the threat—no rules, no hesitation. The tension builds as two very different paths collide in a city teetering on the edge.
