Bane returns to Gotham City stronger than ever—not through the power of Venom, but through sheer will, intelligence, and determination. Having overcome his addiction to the strength-enhancing drug, the infamous criminal escapes from Blackgate Prison and sets out to uncover the source of a new supply of Venom flooding Gotham's streets.
As Bane follows a deadly trail through the city's underworld, Batman pursues the same mystery, setting the stage for another brutal confrontation between two of Gotham's most formidable adversaries.

Batman
