Tales of the Batman - Tim Sale #[nn]

When the chaos of Bane’s assault on Arkham forces its inmates into Blackgate Prison, the fragile balance among Gotham’s most dangerous minds begins to unravel. With Sarter’s tragic end marking a turning point, the remaining villains—Two-Face, Poison Ivy, Scarecrow, Riddler, Mad Hatter, and others—find themselves drawn into a tense, unpredictable game where trust is a liability and survival depends on who you can outwit… or outlast.

In "Blades, Part One," Batman tracks a chilling killer targeting Gotham’s elderly, leading him to the enigmatic Mr. Lime, while a new figure emerges from the shadows—Hudson Pyle, the stuntman turned vigilante known as the Cavalier. With Alfred’s quiet support and Commissioner Gordon navigating the city’s growing tension, Batman must unravel a mystery that blurs the line between justice and vengeance.

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

In "Blades, Part Three," Batman confronts Mr. Lime in a tense showdown that tests his resolve, while the enigmatic Cavalier exacts brutal justice on Randolph Salt. With the city's shadows closing in, the line between hero and villain blurs as the Cavalier's final act leaves Gotham's finest to reckon with the aftermath.
