A Tale Of Two Barbara Gordon: Breakout #1 Previews from DC Next Level

There are two Barbara Gordon: Breakout #1 by Mariko Tamaki and Amancay Nahuelpan previews out there. One from the DC Comics Next Wave Sampler given away for yesterday's Free Comic Book Day, in black and white, unlettered. And then, for next week's DC Comics titles, including Batman #9, a different preview, coloured and lettered by Tamra Bonvillain and Ariana Maher. Previously, Bleeding Cool reported that the comic book's premise was somewhat hidden. And if you want to read that, you can click that here, spoilers be damned. But for now, here are two previews for the first issue of the comic book in question.

After making a sinister deal with Mayor Isley, Commissioner Vandal Savage initiates Operation Peregrine, sending his brutal TUCO squads across Gotham City on a singular mission: Bring in the Batman!

  LEAPING FROM THE PAGES OF MAY'S BATMAN #9 INTO THE NEXT LEVEL! Framed. Outlawed. Hunted. The extralegal activities of Gotham's vigilantes have never been more dangerous. After Barbara Gordon is arrested for aiding the Bat-Family, she is shipped off to Supermax, GCPD Commissioner Vandal Savage's pet-project prison for all who oppose him. She will find herself alone, surrounded by dangerous criminals and equally dangerous guards, in a place where nothing is what it seems. The true danger is just beginning… Eisner Award-winning writer Mariko Tamaki and fan-favorite artist Amancay Nahuelpan reunite to deliver a twisty, unexpected Bat-book for DC Next Level. $3.99 5/13/2026
