The all-new Batman makes his debut! Who is he, and what happens next? Find out here as a new era begins in Gotham City!

COMMISSIONER GORDON IS THE NEW BATMAN!

Following the disappearance and presumed death of Batman, former police commissioner Jim Gordon has been called to carry on the Dark Knight's legacy and become the Dark Knight's successor.

But while the name and what it stands for remain the same, this new Batman is far from just a copy of the original. Patrolling the city in a gargantuan high-tech Bat-suit, Gordon is no shadowy vigilante. He has the full cooperation of the G.C.P.D. and the Mayor, plus a multi-million-dollar budget from Powers International.

But will an expensive suit be enough to stop the mysterious, weed-like Mr. Bloom before his deadly plans for the city take root?

The #1New York Timesall-star creative team of Scott Snyder, Greg Capullo and Danny Miki introduce an all-new Dark Knight in Batman Vol. 8- Superheavy, with guest appearances from Brian Azzarello (Wonder Woman) and Jock (Batman- The Black Mirror). Collects Batman #41-45 and DC Sneak Peak- Batman #1.

Reviews for Batman Vol 8: Superheavy (GN)

...a great jumping on point for anyone looking to get into what I hope will continue to be a long and continuing run on this title from one of the best creative teams it's ever had. -Nerdist This is the Snyder and Capullo show. This is the work of two men at the top of their games. They have never been more confident in their storytelling. -New York Post Batman's new direction gets off to a great start with some strong characterization and inventive art. - IGN Scott Snyder has reinvented Batman, deepening and humanizing the Dark Knight's myth like no one since Frank Miller in the 1980s. -The New York Times
