DC Comics launches the new six-issue miniseries Batman: Gotham Knights – Gilded City this Tuesday, and we’ve got the official preview of the first issue for you here; check it out…
A mysterious virus has infected Gotham City-turning its victims into rabid, yellow-irised maniacs driven to looting, theft, and bursts of anger. Batman and his Gotham Knights struggle to keep this strange virus contained while investigating its origins. But this is not the first time this unusual illness has overtaken the city. Take a trip to Gotham in the mid-1800s and meet the city’s first masked vigilante-the mysterious hero known only as the Runaway-as they, too, find themselves mired in the mystery of this infection! This thrilling and horrific tale, split between modern-day Gotham and the Gotham of 1847, leads directly into the upcoming video game Gotham Knights! Each issue will also offer an exclusive code for readers to redeem in the game – and for issue 1, readers will receive an exclusive skin variant for the Batcycle! Readers who purchase all 6 issues will receive a special 7th item!
Batman: Gotham Knights – Gilded City #1 goes on sale on October 25th, priced $4.99.
