Who will win the war for Gotham?
This issue, along with Batman #23.4 — a one-shot of Bane — will be tie-ins to the six-issue mini-series Arkham War, starting in October. Both Batman #23.4 and Arkham War will be written by Peter J. Tomasi, who recently said in an interview with MTV Geek that “the main characters of Arkham War are Bane and Scarecrow, each one leading their respective army against the other for control of Gotham in their own inimitable ways. The Bane and Scarecrow one-shots set up their master plans and lead directly into Arkham War.”
