After a tormenting and seemingly endless knightmare induced by the Scarecrow, Batman is finally awake. But what kind of horrors await him in the world beyond his mind? For some time now, Bane and Bruce’s father, Thomas Wayne, have been furthering their machinations to break the Bat. They’ve beat him, isolated him, and broken his heart. They’ve assembled an army comprised of Batman’s greatest villains. And now, in Batman #70, a war has begun to brew.
In an initiative known as the “Year of the Villain,” DC is bringing story lines from Justice League, Superman, Batman, and beyond to their culminations. A special 25 cent Year of the Villain #1 preview comic will hit store shelves this Wednesday alongside Batman #70. One segment of it will hold hints of what’s to come for Bruce as Gotham City becomes the “City of Bane.”
The song that Tom King and his incredible Batman artistic collaborators started to sing several years ago is finally coming to a crescendo. And it all begins with Batman #70. Check out the Beat’s exclusive preview of the issue after the jump.
