When a trio of Gotham’s most notorious villains tear away something deeply personal from Bruce Wayne, Batman becomes a man racing the clock—not just to reclaim what was stolen, but to confront the wounds the theft has reopened. As Catwoman, the Riddler, and the Penguin turn on one another in escalating desperation, Batman is forced to push past anger, loss, and the limits of his own restraint.
This is a story about what Batman fights for when the mission becomes painfully intimate… and what Gotham’s villains reveal about who he is underneath the mask. Every betrayal exposes a deeper truth, every clue leads closer to the heart of his pain, and every hour brings him nearer to understanding the cost of being Gotham’s protector. Tom King (Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, Sheriff of Babylon) delivers a precise, character-first script brought vividly to life by David Marquez (Miles Morales: Spider-Man, Civil War II), whose clean storytelling and dramatic clarity heighten the tension on every page.
Collects Batman: Killing Time #1–6.
