Batman – I Am Gotham | Comics

Gotham City’s hero and greatest protector, Batman is joined by a pair of masked meta-humans to be the new guardians of the city!

On the rooftop of GCPD Headquarters, Batman meets Commissioner Jim Gordon regarding an air missile heist from Fort Marshall two weeks ago. Two of the three missiles were recovered hours ago from a Kobra Cult cell and the third one is still missing.

When they were discussing about it, a passenger plane was descending to Gotham City and it is shot down with a missile by an unknown assailant. Wasting no more time, Batman immediately rushes to the exploding plane that is headed straight to Gotham Square while Alfred updates him on the situation after Duke Thomas takes over for assistance.

Putting an alert on Justice League comm link, The Dark Knight reaches to the plane using everything he had at his disposal. Alfred Pennyworth informs shortly that the League members are either off-planet or already engaged, which means no help is coming.

He successfully drives the plane out of harm’s way but seems to face an inevitable death in doing so until is unexpectedly saved at the last moment. The plane safely lands on water and Batman sees two super-powered youth flying in front of him, calling themselves Gotham and Gotham Girl, who are here to save the city.

As the Caped Crusader was curious about their appearance out of nowhere and trying to figure out who they are, they pick a fight with Solomon Grundy next day. Gotham asks him to train them so that they can help people more effectively, which he decides to consider.

At the same time a man shows up in Gordon’s office to confess about his involvement in releasing Grundy earlier, then stabbing himself in throat and a few other suicide-bombing takes place throughout the city. Meanwhile, Dr. Hugo Strange and Psycho-Pirate were being drafted to Suicide Squad by director Amanda Waller.

While Gotham and Gotham Girl were busy saving the city, Bruce goes for a little background check on them as Agent Malone. He learns that during their childhood, the boy witnessed his parents getting mugged in an alley way of Gotham, when Batman came to save the day. His young sister heard of it later and it made them eager to become heroes.

In the meantime, the Gotham siblings were holding a bridge out that is collapsing from a suicide bombing. Their mentor quickly reached the spot to help them and instructs them to move on to the next objective as he goes investigating the reason behind the blasts.

The duo goes to take care of another incident only to be confronted by Strange and Pirate among a group of soldiers. The latter turned the twins crazy and unstable with his psychic power before making them do their own bidding of unleashing the unthinkable.

Batman's investigation leads him to Amanda Waller next, who recruited Strange and Pirate to control Task Force X but they eventually betrayed her and got away. Now, he has to take care of a very frightened Gotham Girl and face her out of control brother who can even take out all the members of the Justice League single handedly.

Batman – I Am Gotham

Comic-book writer Tom King (Grayson – Agents of Spyral, Grayson – We All Die at Dawn) and artist David Finch (Brightest Day, Forever Evil) takes up the new monthly ongoing Batman books in the beginning of DC Rebirth from DC Comics. The storyline collects the one-shot Batman – Rebirth issue and issue #01-06 from the ongoing run.

The arc introduced two brand-new superheroes in Gotham City who came to help and pretty quickly things escalated to the point where we get to see the Justice League consisting of Aquaman, Cyborg, Flash, Green Lantern, Superman and Wonder Woman going up against one of them in a brawl only to take a severe beating like never before.

Knights of Gotham

Narrator Tom King does the stunt of scaring the readers by playing with the idea that series protagonist is about to die at the very beginning and then toned down everything back to normal and gave him more work to do afterwards, rather than just dying.

The story also teases towards the upcoming crossover "Night of the Monster Men" at several points on multiple occasions, which is also a nod to a six-issue limited series "Batman and the Monster Men" from 2006, the era before Flashpoint crossover. The plot will be continued in the next storyline "I Am Suicide", followed by "I Am Bane".

DC Universe – Rebirth | Comics

In an attempt to save his mother from dying at the hands of his arch-enemy Zoom, Barry Allen went back in time to save her but the “Butterfly Effect” of his actions created the disastrous world of Flashpoint and the reality itself is re-written in a new world with ten years of history erased from it by a very powerful unknown individual who got Wally West trapped inside Speed Force.

So, Wally desperately races to warn everyone that the new timeline is a result of the manipulation of some extra-dimensional mysterious being. He goes to Batman to tell him to look for his father’s letter and then just vanishes in lightning. He meets Johnny Thunder at his elderly home and tells him to find the Justice Society and is soon pulled back in again. Pandora was running away from an unseen entity in alleyway and she dies stating that the truth about her monstrous assailant will be revealed.

Black Canary and Green Arrow don’t know each other very well like they used to in another reality but still feels a missing spark between themselves. Elsewhere, Aquaman proposes to Mera on his knees according to the surface tradition to re-state his love for her. Meanwhile, the world was mourning the Tragedy of Superman and another Clark Kent from Pre-Flashpoint reality lives here with his wife Lois Lane and son Jon Kent in Hamilton County as The Smiths.

Wally then approaches to his love of life Linda Park for help but as she was unable to recognize him either, he is pulled again. He even seeks his arch-nemesis Captain Boomerang, friend Cyborg and Dick Grayson of the Titans for help but finally, it was Barry Allen who actually remembered who Wally was and then pulled him back. This brought back many memories and this two speedsters share a tearful reunion.

Atom reaches out his assistant Ryan Choi to inform that he is in a big trouble investigating a temporal anomaly. Doctor Fate pays a visit to Blue Beetle's alter ego Ted Kord that his Scarab is not a piece of alien technology but actually magic. As Batman was investigating inside the Batcave, he found evidence that suggests that the heroes of this world are being watched over.

DC Universe – Rebirth Omnibus Vol 01

As the 2016’s biggest crossover event “DC Rebirth” begins with a shocking prelude of “The Final Days of Superman”, DC Comics brings together creator Geoff Johns (Flash – Rebirth, Forever Evil), Ivan Reis (Blackest Night, Infinite Crisis), Gary Frank (Batman – Earth One, Superman – Secret Origin), Ethan Van Sciver (Green Lantern – Rebirth, Sinestro Corps War) and Phil Jimenez to re-create history once again. This event features the long-awaited “Return of Wally West” as well as a hint at the comeback of the fan-favorite; Watchmen, who’d probably tie into the main reality of DC Universe and something that we’ve never seen before would happen.
