Batman Vol. 13: The City of Bane Part 2, Hardcover

Eisner Award winner Tom King reunites with Mikel Janin as he continues his bestselling Batman run. Batman returns to Gotham just in time for the epic showdown with Bane

The bad guys thought they had it made with Bane in control, but with Batman back in Gotham they'll be reminded what justice feels like...and how it hurts when it hits you in the face. With Catwoman at his side, the Caped Crusader is looking to take down Bane's army and reclaim his city.

But is the Dark Knight Detective ready to take on the foe who broke him worse than any other that came before? And what else stands in Batman's way, to put an obstacle between him and his enemy? Tread lightly, Batman, because not only do the lives of your son and trusted friends hang in the balance, but your entire home could collapse. Batman and his allies have a choice: let Bane stay in power and guarantee the city's survival, or risk everything to break free

Collects Batman #80-85.
