Batman is captured by Red Hood in a very different Gotham as well… with a spinoff world from the Heart. Enough to make some go weak at the knees it seems…

Gotham has its own defences. It's own Red Hood…

Each former Robin has shaped Gotham City into their own vision of justice, and if Bruce can make his way past Dick Grayson, he'll face the darkest one yet. Will he survive the most violent aspects of his own legacy? Or will Batman's greatest failure destroy him and the city he's sworn to protect? It's a literal battle for the cowl—and for the fate of the DC Universe—as the all-star creative team of Joshua Williamson and Dan Mora turns up the heat!
