Since last Halloween, writer Jeph Loeb and artist Tim Sale, the Eisner Award-winning team behind BATMAN: THE LONG HALLOWEEN, have kept readers everywhere on the edge of their seats ? telling a dark tale from the early days of Batman's career. Month after month, BATMAN: DARK VICTORY has been twisting and turning with murders and mysteries ? only a few of which have been revealed.
But now, all the answers will be exposed in the Prestige Format finale. BATMAN: DARK VICTORY #13 begins where the shocking events of #12 left off. Has Batman finally found the identity of the Hang Man killer who has splattered the calendar with blood by hanging a member of the Gotham City Police Force each month? What connection does the Hang Man have to Harvey Dent, and can the murders be stopped before the most horrifying killing of them all takes place? This time Batman is no longer alone in his quest for justice as a young, inexperienced Robin joins him. Witness the last stand of the crumbling criminal empire, as the Falcone Family faces off against Two-Face and a mob of freakish allies that includes the Joker, Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy, and Solomon Grundy. Will all of Gotham City be left in ruins before the last gang war is over? And how will this change the lives of James Gordon, Harvey Dent, and Janice Porter? It will be a Victory ? but for whom?

In this new, original graphic novel from superstar writer/designer Chip Kidd and artist Dave Taylor, Gotham City is undergoing one of the most expansive construction booms in its history. The most prestigious architects from across the globe have buildings in various phases of completion all over town. As chairman of the Gotham Landmarks Commission, Bruce Wayne has been a key part of this boom, which signals a golden age of architectural ingenuity for the city. And then, the explosions begin. All manner of design-related malfunctions - faulty crane calculations, sturdy materials suddenly collapsing, software glitches, walkways giving way and more - cause casualties across the city. This bizarre string of seemingly random catastrophes threatens to bring down the whole construction industry. Fingers are pointed as Batman must somehow solve the problem and find whoever is behind it all.
