#1 NEW YORK TIMES Bestseller! Batman is not a hero. He is just a man. Fallible, vulnerable and angry. In a Gotham City where friend and foe are indistinguishable, Bruce Wayne''s path toward becoming the Dark Knight is riddled with more obstacles than ever before. Focused on punishing his parents’ true killers, and the corrupt police that allowed the criminals to go free, Bruce Wayne''s thirst for vengeance fuels his mad crusade and no one, not even Alfred, can stop him.

Powerless and hunted by the law, the only way Wally West can survive and escape is to accept help from those he trusts the least-his own Rogues Gallery!
