Today’s Book: Batman – No Man’s Land

Gotham City has been hit by a major earthquake and two rounds of epidemic disease, then cut off from the rest of the U.S. by political decree proclaiming it a No Man’s Land, and the Batman is missing in action. That’s where Greg Rucka starts us in No Man’s Land. He does a good job in building the tension in the decimated city with Joker, Two Face, Black Mask, Bane, Penguin, and even Lex Luther (minus Superman). Our hero has Robin, Nightwing, Oracle, a new Batgirl, and Commissioner Jim Gordon on his side as he roams the night protecting and reclaiming the turf.

Big Bat fans will probably also want to check out DC Comic’s re-imagining of the Caped Crusader by Stan Lee
