Tales of the Batman - Tim Sale #[nn]

In the wake of Arkham’s collapse, Gotham’s most dangerous minds are scattered across Blackgate, where the fragile order cracks under the weight of past sins. With Sarter’s final act echoing through the prison’s halls, the remaining inmates—Two-Face, Poison Ivy, Scarecrow, the Riddler, and others—find themselves drawn into a tense, unpredictable game of survival, where every move could be their last.

In "Blades, Part One," Batman investigates a string of mysterious deaths targeting elderly citizens, leading him to the enigmatic Mr. Lime, while a new figure emerges in Gotham's shadows—Hudson Pyle, the stuntman turned vigilante known as the Cavalier. With Alfred Pennyworth at his side and Commissioner James Gordon watching the city's edge, the Dark Knight must navigate a web of secrets that blur the line between justice and vengeance.

In "Blades, Part Two," Batman presses forward in his hunt for the elusive Mr. Lime, while the Cavalier finds himself torn between loyalty to Randolph Salt and his growing feelings for Ellen—feelings that complicate his secret thefts. With Commissioner Gordon watching the city’s edge and Alfred Pennyworth offering quiet counsel, the stakes rise as old alliances fray and new dangers emerge.

In "Blades, Part Three," Batman confronts Mr. Lime in a tense showdown that pushes him to his limits. As the Cavalier exacts his brutal revenge, the line between justice and vengeance blurs—especially when he faces an injured Batman in a final, devastating clash. With Gotham's finest closing in, the aftermath leaves the city’s shadows darker than ever.
