Part of Batwoman (2011)
First published 2017
Kate Kane sweeps across Gotham's skyline in her red cape, upholding the Bat tradition on territory Batman previously defended. She pursues criminals with unwavering determination until an unusual foe surfaces from what resembles a twisted portal of illegal operations. This mysterious antagonist unleashes enemies that blur the line between reality and terror, forcing Batwoman into battles against threats she has never faced. Kate must confront adversaries that seem pulled from dark dreams while wrestling with her own sense of self. The challenge extends beyond physical fights as she works to reconcile her personal life with her role as Gotham's masked guardian. Her identity as one of DC's pioneering openly gay heroes adds complexity to her mission. Eisner Award recipients Greg Rucka and J.H. Williams III illuminate previously unseen corners of Gotham, transforming the city's familiar shadows into unexplored territory.
