Batman: Gotham Underground

In 2008, DC Comics published Batman: Gotham Underground, a nine-issue miniseries written by Frank Tieri with art by J. Calafiore. The story pits Batman against the escalating war between the Penguin's organized crime empire and the super-villain collective known as the Society, as both factions vie for control of Gotham's underworld. It's a key chapter in the post-Infinite Crisis landscape, bridging the events of 52 and Countdown while spotlighting the gritty, street-level power struggles that define the city's criminal hierarchy.
