No Man's Land - 1: Batman

Więcej o książce

Fans of Batman are fortunate to have Greg Rucka, the gritty author of Keeper and Finder, penning this novelization of DC's No Man's Land comic series. In 1999, a devastating 7.6 earthquake strikes Gotham City, leaving it in ruins and prompting the government to declare it a No Man's Land. The bridges are destroyed, waterways are mined, and entering the city becomes a crime. With Gotham abandoned, notorious villains from Arkham Asylum—such as Two-Face, the Penguin, the Riddler, and Poison Ivy—seize control, engaging in violent turf wars across the city. A conflicted Batman arrives to find that the chaos is only exacerbated by Lex Luthor's sinister plans for Gotham. While some may view No Man's Land as derivative, Rucka's compelling writing and the enduring appeal of Batman ensure that this story remains engaging. Collecting various issues, this narrative showcases the dark transformation of Gotham and the challenges Batman faces against a backdrop of lawlessness and villainy.
