On his first day back on the GCPD following the tragic events of No Man’s Land, Commissioner Jim Gordon is brought to the scene of a mob hit which has resulted in the death of a veteran GCPD officer. Letting his grief get the best of him, Gordon tries to solve the case single-handedly, resulting in actions that recent transfer from Metropolis PD Detective Crispus Allen does not agree with.
Crispus has recently been assigned partners with Renee Montoya whose former partner, Harvey Bullock has been promoted to
Sergeant. Also receiving a promotion is Mackenzie Bock who now has taken the
helm of Captain.
As Gordon is about to take drastic measures akin of suicide, Batman arrives on the scene and helps Gordon to direct his grief properly, preventing a certain death. When all is said and done, Gordon and Batman are now more similar creatures than ever.
NOTE:
This issue is the first in which we see a different Batman costume. The yellow oval is now gone from his chest and in it's place is a simple black bat symbol much like
the original Batman costume from the early days.
