t's been three years since the Batman defeated Lex Luthor and saved the world from tyranny. Three years since anyone has seen Gotham City's guardian alive. All of the Dark Knight's allies--Wonder Woman, Hal Jordan, Superman--have retreated from the front lines of the war against injustice. But now a new war is beginning.
