Batman: Detective Comics Vol. 2: Arkham Knight

GOTHAM DESERVES A BETTER DARK KNIGHT.

The Batman is a cancer. A cancer that has darkened Gotham City. His reckless vigilantism endangers innocents, creates villains, and only ever begets more violence. The people deserve justice.

The Arkham Knight has come to deliver it. The Arkham Knight has an army of supporters waging war against the Dark Knight. They've bombed the city and beat back Batman and his allies, but their greatest coup is still to come. Can the Arkham Knight turn Batman's family against him?

WHO IS THE ARKHAM KNIGHT?

The people of Gotham believe their city's hero protects them from the dangers on their streets, but is their violent, lawless vigilante really much better than the monsters he fights? This is the Arkham Knight's Crusade: To defeat the Batman and free Gotham from the tyranny of his darkness.

The Knight has brought an entire round table of deadly allies from the asylum but is hoping to recruit one more: Damian Wayne. Can this masked renegade sway Robin to join their cause?
