Kate Kane patrols Gotham's rooftops in her crimson cape, carrying forward the Bat legacy on streets Batman once protected. As one of DC's first openly gay superheroes, she fights crime with relentless resolve until a strange new enemy appears. This adversary emerges from what looks like a warped rabbit hole of criminal activity, presenting threats unlike anything Batwoman has encountered. The villain forces Kate to battle foes that exist somewhere between the real world and pure nightmare. Kate struggles to balance her personal identity with her duties as a masked protector of Gotham. The conflict runs much deeper than physical combat as she navigates who she is beneath the cowl. Eisner Award winners Greg Rucka and J.H. Williams III present Gotham through new perspectives, revealing hidden aspects of the city and casting familiar darkness in unexplored ways.
