Batman's Big Sleep – Today's Knight Terrors and Gotham War Spoilers

Who wants some Knight Terrors spoilers or Gotham War spoilers? Keen readers of Bleeding Cool's previous Gotham Gossip may recall a moment three weeks ago when we ran previous Batman panels and stated that "it has been noted in the comic books that Batman hasn't even had a moment to himself. He has just run screaming from one crisis to the other, each one having a greater toll on his body, but unable to stop. He is running the Red Queen's Race, running as fast as possible only to stay still. Eventually, something is going to give… " And that's what happens towards the conclusion of Knight Terrors: Night's End out today…

"Batman is going to sleep. Going to sleep for a long time."

And in today's Batman/Catwoman: The Gotham War: Battle Lines, we get a little precis…

… and a little foreshadowing…

..and see just how long that sleep was for.

As we said, "Eight weeks long." And some of his secrets are out.

Everyone knows about his robot hand. But there are things Batman also has to discover…

As we said…"What will happen to Gotham in his absence? Will it go to hell in a handcart? It will not. Because that's the thing. Gotham having two months without Batman (mirroring the Knight Terrors event, which gave us two months without the ongoing Batman comic book), crime in Gotham – violent crime at least – is down. Batman's absence from the streets of Gotham has actually made things better…"

Though not everyone will be so welcoming…

Knight Terrors: Night's End and Batman/Catwoman: The Gotham War: Battle Lines are both published today from DC Comics from these fine folks.
