Coming in September, there will be a new threat to Gotham City and it will be Batman himself.
To be more specific, the threat will come from Dark Multiverse versions of Batman. These evil versions of the Dark Knight will descend on the city with a plan that will effect all of the city’s villains and their relationship to Batman. DC Entertainment announced the series stating that each issue will have “a different, corrupted version of Batman spawned from the Dark Multiverse to wreak havok on Earth.”
The series will also include a series of crossover issues that are being called “Gotham Resistance” and will feature a team of heroes and anti-heroes including Nightwing, Batgirl, Robin, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Harley Quinn, Killer Croc and others.
