This summer, New York Times best-selling writer Scott Snyder collaborates with acclaimed writer Kyle Higgins and artist Trevor McCarthy for BATMAN: GATES OF GOTHAM, a five-part miniseries exploring historic Gotham City and its many dark secrets.

When a mystery as old as Gotham City itself surfaces, Batman assembles a team of his greatest detectives to investigate this startling new enigma. As clues are discovered and the mystery deepens, Batman’s team soon finds itself on a journey that explores different eras in Gotham’s history and touches upon notable Gotham families including the Waynes, Kanes, Cobblepots and Elliotts. BATMAN: GATES OF GOTHAM is an exploration of Gotham City’s dark history; a mystery that stretches back long before Batman watched over the city.
