New Batman Series!

From the pages of DC Comics comes…original, full-color chapter books!

emperor Emperor of the Airwaves: The Penguin purchases Gotham’s largest media company.  Meanwhile, a crime wave hits the city.  Batman soon learns that these events are related.  After the Dark Knight stops a crime, the Penguin’s TV news channel edits the security tapes and police reports to make Batman look like a criminal.  People begin to fear the Dark Knight.  If he can’t prove his innocence, the hero will end up in prison and the Penguin will fly free.

 

The Revenge of Clayface: Billionaire Bruce Wayne is asked to support revenge the military’s newest weapon, the ParaBomb X, a high-tech orb that emits a paralyzing light.  But during the weapon’s demonstration, a general grabs the orb, crashes through the window, and falls to the street below.  Bruce Wayne is stunned.  When he looks down at the street, he sees the thief turn into a gooey pile of mud and slip down a storm drain with the stolen weapon.  He wasn’t a general at all –he was one of Batman’s strangest enemies, Clayface.
