About the series
In 2005, DC Comics launched Batman: War Games, a three-issue series that served as a capstone to the sprawling "War Games" crossover event. Writers Andersen Gabrych and Ed Brubaker, alongside artists Pete Woods and Paul Gulacy, delivered a tightly focused story examining the deadly fallout of a gang war that spiraled out of Batman's control. This series matters for its gritty, consequential take on Gotham's underworld, forcing the Dark Knight to confront the brutal cost of his war on crime.
