Batman: War Of Gotham

Batman: War Of Gotham is a mega comic book crossover event published by DC Comics, and will start in January 2015, and end in August 2016. The series will be written by Scott Snyder, Grant Morrison, and Geoff Johns, with artwork by Greg Capullo, Rafael Albuquerque, Ivan Reis, and Jim Lee.

The event will take place in the New 52, and will focus on Batman returning to Gotham City after most of his enemies break out of Arkham Asylum and wage a war across the entire city of Gotham. Heroes such as Nightwing, Batgirl, Catwoman, Batwing, and Batwoman will be involved, including crossovers from Red Robin and the Teen Titans, Red Hood and the Outlaws, and many more.

Originally, the series was supposed to only be written by Scott Snyder, Grant Morrison, and Jeff Lemire, but was announced that Geoff Johns would replace Lemire, and Peter Tomasi working on several tie-ins. Also, the artwork was supposed to be worked on by Greg Capullo, Rafael Albuquerque, David Finch, and Eddy Barrows, but instead Barrows was replaced by Reis, with Jim Lee, Doug Mahnke, Tony Daniel, and Joe Prado working on most of the tie-ins.

The story is described as "Heroes Die, Villains Rise. Secrets Revealed, Relationships Killed. Friends Betrayed, Others Maimed. Loved Ones Missing, Enemies Kissing.", saying that the events of War Of Gotham will change the Batman Universe forever.
